Direct Object Pronouns in Italian

Pronouns? Direct Objects? Direct object pronouns? Ahh! Ok, I know that in English we rarely go over these grammatical terms, so they can cause some headaches, but really, honestly, they aren't too difficult to understand. Let's first define the concept of a direct object pronoun, and then see how Italians use them!

Really clear explanations of grammar points. Very helpful. Excellent

[@Snowrite]

Holy cow! This is the best explanation I’ve seen so far. I kinda feel like I could learn Italian in half the time if you were my primary teacher, but anyway, I’m looking forward to watching the rest of your videos on Italian and other subjects as well. You’ve definitely gained a subscriber, thanks man!

[@RichiXEats]

Seriously the best man-splaining on the planet haha

[@sunshine7453]

You articulate as clear as the video. I have learned a lot from you. Thank you!

[@NehalPatel26]

Thank you, this was a nice refresher for me after my last italian class!

[@goliath257]

[@MsKate-ch5pb]

[@imeldafani]

Thanks! I immediately understood Spanish grammar as well when I watched this video :D

[@randomspartanhoe4501]

Wait, it's Italian.

[@imeldafani]

@@randomspartanhoe4501 yeees, spanish and italian are kinda similar

[@randomspartanhoe4501]

@@imeldafani Understandable, since Italian and Spanish have the same ancestor - Latin. But Italian is a little bit more complex than Spanish.

[@ellymarie1228]

The only reason I pass my Italian classes is because of Professor Dave 💙😂😩

[@DoxFree]

Thanks for your explanation, it's really helped me out!

[@bre_witched]

Almost 2 years of studying Italian and it wasn't until this video that I finally grasped direct object pronouns. Thanks!

[@jpod4237]

Thanx

[@ethelmisquitta4088]

Grazie mille. Mi ho piaciuto questo video molto

[@santiagoestefania9983]

Sono un pochino in ritardo, ma grazie mille per questo video insegnante Dave!! Sto imparando l'Italiano e mi hai aiutato molto per capiscare questa lezione. Saluti dall'Argentina!! 😊🇦🇷

[@MAGESHMRAJ]

Sir We couldn't see Italian words in the screen .Percé English sub-titles are hiding the Italian word

[@NORTH02]

Grazie

[@Italessons]

Good Job! let me tell you that "è bene" it's not really Italian. "Bene" it's used with the verbs "stare" or "fare" rather than "essere". I'd change your sentence in "Marco ha detto delle bugie anche se non dovrebbe dirle" :)

[@izzydisibio8210]

you saved my ass before my exam tomorrow i am eternally grateful for this

[@Luma-tg6dm]

What a blessing it is to speak Spanish

[@klid662]

Prof, can we change example: mi senti? si, ti sento to senti mi? si, ti sento Thanks

[@khurshidkhatri9734]

Va bene

[@moboddam-whetham5738]

How do we substitute the correct form of the direct object for this sentence I clients prefer Isco no - I pass time del giorno

[@inte.julia.]

OMG YOU MADE ME FUCKIN UNDERSTAND I LOVE YOU

[@ProudJewishQueen1979]

Isn't "E" the Italian version of "it"? if so , then they do have an "it". No?

I do not understand Italian.I have done Level 1 and Level 2.Out of ten I got two. I shall be starting Level 3 shortly.I will get one out of ten.I am useless.I do my best, but my best is Non-Existence.The Grammar, use of Grammar,etc.is terrible.Why can’t other Languages be like English.It is easy to follow.(I am not worrying,as I said my best is Non-Existence.).I won’t get better.

[@ProfessorDaveExplains]

start from the beginning of this italian playlist and go all the way through, it will help you review the grammar that is giving you trouble!

[@colinmccarthy7921]

It is all the Grammar.That is Nouns,Verbs, Adverbs,Adjectives,Pro-Nouns.You have Conjunctions,Prepositions,Articles,Refexive verbs.You also have Stems and all of all that.If some one speaks to me in Italian, I. Don’t understand them.My speaking is terrible.I shall be starting Level 3 shortly. My class work and homework has been two out of ten.My Level 3 will be one out of ten,My bear is not good enough.I am useless and that is it.(Not to worry).

[@hikerinpam33]

Why do you need the la in... Si la vedo... Why can't it just be ... Si vedo??? What's the purpose???? I'm confused.. Can you explain

[@ProfessorDaveExplains]

One is “yes I see”, the other is “yes I see it”.
