Lesson Transcript

Hi everyone! I'm Felice! Ciao a tutti! Sono Felice!
Welcome to the Italian Whiteboard Lessons! In this lesson, you'll learn how to use the
adverb NON. Let's get started!
The Italian adverb NON is used to make sentences negative. Let's look at this sentence.
Non sono insegnante. Literally, it means not am teacher. That is to say, I'm not a teacher.
The formation is really simple. NON plus verb. All you have to do is put NON before the verb.
Now let's look at some speaking examples. Non capisco. I don't understand.
Non sono infermiera. No, I'm not a nurse. Non sono giapponese. Sono cinese. I'm not Japanese. I'm Chinese.
As you can see, you can use NON with any verb, not just to be.
Let's look at the dialogue. When I read, I want you to pay attention to the adverb NON. Find it and see how it's used in the dialogue.
È studente? Are you a student? No, non sono studente. Sono investitore. No, I'm not a student. I'm an investor.
