| Do you know how to say whether someone is good or not good at doing something in Italian? |
| Welcome to Three Step Italian Practice by ItalianPod101.com. In this lesson, you'll practice how to describe what someone is or isn't good at doing in Italian, using the structure "essere bravo a." |
| Let's look at the main dialogue. |
| Two people are having a conversation. |
| Sono bravo a tagliare il pesce perché il mio hobby è la pesca. |
| "I'm good at cutting fish because my hobby is fishing." |
| È fantastico! Da grande puoi diventare uno chef. |
| "That's fantastic! When you grow up, you can become a chef." |
| In this lesson, we've learned how to talk about what someone is good at doing in Italian. |
| We use this pattern to say someone is good at doing something in Italian: (person) + essere + bravo/a/i/e + a + infinitive verb phrase. |
| The adjective bravo must match the person's gender and number, and a comes before the verb. |
| For example: |
| Sono bravo a tagliare il pesce — "I'm good at cutting fish." |
| Bravo is masculine singular, and a tagliare means "at cutting." |
| Just remember, bravo changes depending on who you're talking about: brava, bravi, or brave. |
| Now let's practice using this grammar with some sentences. |
