| 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. |
