a volte sembra che venga usata anche la parola 'qual', ad es. qual è la differenza. va bene usare 'che' anche qui?

THIS, is a very good teacher. I knew this, and some others I've just had a look at, of yours. Everything, including the typing out, the length of the clip, eccetera, is spot on. It shows a high level of understanding, is the best way I can put it. Allora....brava.

Benvenuto!

[@cherryreyes2466]

Does the rule apply for past tenses and also for negative sentences? Would it be all right to have another dedicated video for this if a further explanation is needed? Grazie mille. ❤

[@ItalianTeacherValentina]

Buona domanda, Cherry! The rule is exactly the same whatever tense you are using and also for negative questions, eg: "Che libri hai letto?" - what books did you read? "Che libri non hai letto?" - what books you didn't read?

Hello good information❤

[@greensceneBirds]

Grazie

[@kevinmccord4885]

Great video. Is there anything else one needs to know in order to correctly say exclamations such as “How beautiful!” or “How interesting!” Grazie tanto

[@ItalianTeacherValentina]

Good question, Kevin! Just that we don't say "How+ adjective" (as in "how beautiful") but "What+adjective" (so> "che bello!")

[@vinceturner3863]

Thanks for this. I always thought the use of "cosa" as a question word as being a short form of "che cosa" and meaning "what thing", so I wouldn't use "Cosa" before a noun because the noun makes the 'cosa' redundant. I guess in English you couldn't say "What thing book are you reading" whereas you might possibly say "What thing are you reading?"

[@ItalianTeacherValentina]

Bravo!

[@Gauravjamalpuria]

Looking beautiful in this hairstyle 😊

[@AuntyBolanle]

Grazie Mille Maestra 🙏🏾

[@karim0713]

Thank you for the explanation Valentina!! I also noticed while watching shows dubbed in Italian, when the character is exclaiming “what?” It’s always “ Che Cosa?” Is there a particular reason why it’s always che cosa and not “che” or “cosa”?

[@ItalianTeacherValentina]

No particular reason, and in theory "Che" or "Cosa" would work as well, but probably "Che cosa?" in this specific context is slightly more common.

Ottima spiegazione! Molti studenti han problemi con la differenza tra che/che cosa e quale. Non è semplice capire perché chiediamo “qual è il tuo numero di telefono” per esempio…

Grazie, Sara! E sì, questo è uno di quegli argomenti in cui si vedono le maggiori differenze tra italiano ed inglese.

[@AmplifiedAnthems]

Thank you. What about quale? Can we say "Quale libro leggi?" o "Cuale cibo mangi"?

[@ItalianTeacherValentina]

This deserves a dedicated video, I've already added it to my list 😉 Meanwhile, "quale" translates (mostly) to "which" in English

[@brianakiri9020]

You are the best. I stay with CHE 😂

[@swampy1234]

Really useful! Can I ask why the progressive isn't necessary?

[@ItalianTeacherValentina]

There is not a specific reason, it's just that we use Present Tense in a different (and broader) way than in English (e.g. we can also use present tense for future events or, as in this case, for something we are doing in that moment).

Fantastico

[@nahidberk9238]

Hi valentino can you explain congiuntivo

[@pierangelosaponaro2658]

What about using quale, meaning which? Quale and che are synonymous.

[@ItalianTeacherValentina]

Buona domanda! They are not synonymous in Italian but they may sometimes overlap. I already have that on my list for future videos. 😉

[@tomd6103]

Salve! Do Italians use "what" and "which" interchangeably? If not, is there a simple rule to help me know when to use each? Che professoressa preferisco? Quale professoressa preferisco? (Valentina!) Grazie

[@ItalianTeacherValentina]

ahah! Grazie, Tom! 😊 I made a dedicated video on "quale vs che", here's the link 😉: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z4qlf3qibtKse5o

[@domaddamo5784]

do you have a lesson that explains why in "what are you eating"... why you take out the "are" and "you" in the sentence... this is what I struggle with. Grazie mile.

[@ItalianTeacherValentina]

Not yet, so I'll explain it here. It's just a difference in the usage of tenses in Italian. We can use "Tu mangi" both as "You eat" and "You are eating" (applies to any other verb) Also, we usually drop the subject ("Tu") as that information is already "built-in" in the ending of the verb, as in Italian conjugations each subject has a specific and different ending from the others. Hope this helps!
