Hello everyone, welcome back to italianpod101.com.
My name is Desy, mi chiamo Desy, mi chiamo Desy, and in this video, I'm going to give
you the tools to learn Italian by yourself with your Italian grammar book.
So keep watching and learn with me grammar terms in Italian.
Termini grammaticali
This is going to be really convenient when you try to learn Italian from an Italian
grammar book, so maybe you can buy some for kids, or maybe you want to step up and learn
advanced grammar, or maybe you're living in Italy and you just have those, right?
So let's start with analyzing some elements of the phrase, frase in Italian, frase, la
frase è formata da più elementi.
The phrase is made, is formed by many elements.
La frase è formata da più elementi.
More than one, literally, da più elementi.
Starting with the one that you find first, we have soggetto, soggetto, subject, soggetto,
which sometimes is just called sostantivo, sostantivo.
It could be a common noun, so nome comune, nome comune, or a proper noun, meaning a person's
name, right?
Nome proprio, nome proprio.
For example, ragazza, ragazza, girl, is just a common noun, while desire, desire, me, Desy,
it's a proper noun, personal noun.
Linked to the noun, we have pronome, pronome, so if nome means name, right, pronome means
in place of the name, pronome.
In fact, we could say, il pronome sostituisce il nome, il pronome, pronouns, or the pronoun
sostituisce il nome, substitutes the name, replaces the name.
After the subject comes the verb, verbo, il verbo, verbo, which sometimes is also called
predicato, predicato.
There are some things that you need to learn about the verb, right?
The most important of which is la coniugazione del verbo, coniugazione del verbo, coniugazione,
verb conjunction.
So you know, if I'm saying, for example, fare, that's the infinitive form, la forma infinita
del verbo, infinito, fare, while if I say, io faccio, io faccio, I do, that's the coniugazione
del verbo alla prima persona, first person, prima persona, which is io, io, me, I, do,
io faccio.
Congiunzione del verbo.
You also have to think about il modo del verbo, il modo del verbo, so the verb's mood.
For example, indicativo, indicativo, indicative one, io faccio, as I just said, but imperative
one, imperativo, imperativo would be when you give orders, right?
Modo imperativo or modo indicativo.
Then you also add the tempo of the verb, il tempo del verbo, il tempo del verbo, which
could be the present tense, for example, tempo presente or the past form, tempo passato, tempo
passato or futuro, future tense.
I know the verb is the most complicated one.
For example, you may found an exercise telling you, coniuga il verbo tra parentesi all'indicativo
presente, coniuga il verbo tra parentesi all'indicativo presente, coniuga, so conjugate, put, il verbo
tra parentesi, the verb in the brackets, all'indicativo presente, to the present indicative tense.
So for example, if you see, io, brackets, fare la torta, io faccio la torta.
It's important that you get to understand what the exercises ask you, right?
The verb could also be attivo, so active, in the active form, verbo attivo, or verbo
passivo, passivo, the passive form, like, il gatto mangia il topo.
The cat eats the mouse, forma attiva, active form, il gatto mangia il topo, while il topo
è mangiato dal gatto, is the passive form.
So the mouse is eaten by the cat, right?
Moving on, we have avverbio, so the adverb, l'avverbio è un modificatore semantico.
This is what you find in books, l'avverbio è un modificatore semantico.
The adverb, adverbs are semantic modifiers, modificatore, modifier, semantico, semantico.
Aggettivo, adjective, aggettivo, gli aggettivi attribuiscono qualità al nome, gli aggettivi
attribuiscono qualità al nome, adjectives, attribute, give, qualities to the name, gli
aggettivi, adjectives, attribuiscono, attribute, qualità, qualities, al nome, to the name,
to the noun.
Then we have the object, l'oggetto, l'oggetto della frase, the object of the phrase, l'oggetto
della frase.
Something that is particular of Italian language is l'articolo, the article, l'articolo cambia
in base al genere della parola.
The article changes depending, the article cambia, the article changes in base depending
al genere della parola, to the word's genre.
The article changes depending to the word's genre.
Genere, genere is another important term because in Italian we have genere femminile,
genere femminile, feminine form or genere maschile, genere maschile, the masculine form.
preposizione, preposition, we have preposizione semplice, simple preposition or preposizione
articolata, articulated one.
So it's a preposition and the article together, right?
preposizione articolata.
In school we remember those with just like a phrase and it goes like di, a, da, in, con,
su, per, tra, fra.
It's not even a phrase, it's just like you put everything together and you remember it
in this order.
So you know all the simple prepositions.
di, a, da, in, con, su, per, tra, fra sono preposizioni semplici.
Those are simple prepositions.
di, a, da, in, con, su, per, tra, fra.
Try to say this many times and even before you go to bed, just so that you can remember
all Italian simple prepositions.
Lastly, I also want to touch on punctuation, la punteggiatura, punteggiatura.
This word itself already suggests the first word which is punto, punto, the dot, punto,
full stop, punto.
Alla fine della frase, at the end of the phrase, c'è il punto.
At the end of the phrase, there is the full stop.
At the end of the phrase, there is a dot, punto, virgola, virgola is comma, punto esclamativo,
punto esclamativo, exclamation mark, punto esclamativo or punto interrogativo, punto
interrogativo, question mark, question mark, punto interrogativo.
When you put the three little dots is tre puntini, right?
So we just repeat the word, we say puntini, puntini, puntini, not punto, punto, punto, which
is dot, dot, dot, literally, but little dots, little dots, little dots, puntini, puntini,
puntini.
Italian, a fascinating language, I know.
Apostrofo, apostrofi, apostrofo, and if you noticed I already said this but brackets,
so caps, is parentesi, parentesi.
