Can we erase the subject pronoun and begin with mi ...

[@aprosimracing]

Well done, congratulations! Thank you.

Absolutely interesting

This was excellent. Direct and straight forward. I was having so much trouble with these but now I understand thank you!

Super Helpful - thank you - I need to watch it about 10 times!

[@troyserson]

I'm going to watch this five or six times in the next few days before my next Italian lesson - I was starting to get it by the end of the video. Grazie mille Anna!

[@MyItalianCircle]

Grazie Troy! If you have any questions just ask :)

[@uschil7353]

The italian pronouns are indeed a stumble stone for many of us! But in my native language (German) pronouns are even more difficult. Thanks for this video. By the way I bought your grammar book on Amazon and like it a lot. I just wish you would publish an exercise book (with the solutions at the end to compare to) to go along with it.

[@MyItalianCircle]

Oh, I know something about the difficulty of learning German! 😃 About the exercise book - I have been planning it for a long time now but I haven't had the time to work on it yet. Too many projects and KZbin takes up so much time. But I will make it my next priority!

[@uschil7353]

@My Italian Circle Oh, that's wonderful that you plan to do the exercise book! Non vedo l'ora! In the meantime, I enjoy your great videos. 😃

i do not know how many times i have to be told these rules - my brain is like a sieve!! My husband is learning danish pronouns !! - didn't even know we had any!!😀 ( he is doing an intense danish course since he should be able to speak ( a bit of ) danish to get permission to stay here - after Brexit!). Un abbraccio dalla Danimarca😊 Sempre utile!!

[@MyItalianCircle]

Grazie, Inge! Pronouns can be tricky, let’s say that practice helps! ;) reading in Italian is also a good strategy, you end up developing a sense for what is correct and what is not! Spero di tornare presto in Danimarca! Tuo marito parla già un po’ di danese, immagino…

[@ingeosterlund5898]

@@MyItalianCircle Non mon marito non parla danese- non ha mai avuto bisogno. Inglese è parlato molto bene da quasi tutti nemmeno i messaggi dai uffici pubblici sono in inglese ! - quindi non ha davvero bisogno parlare danese. Ma mio fratello (e vecchio)non ha mai imparato inglese.

[@ingeosterlund5898]

-- forse hai voglio d'una pizza quando viene in Danimarca- ti invitero!🙂

[@MyItalianCircle]

Med glæde, Inge!

A me piace molto la lingua danese, mi piace tanto sentirla! Sono sicura che tuo marito si appassionerà!

Grazie Mary 😘

[@davidstone3831]

I pronomi sono sempre un po’ sconcertante, ma con la pratica sono più facile che da quanto sembrino, anche se lo so che diventano più complesso. Tuttavia, l’unica strada avanti è provare.

[@MyItalianCircle]

Grazie, Davide! I pronomi sono tanti, ma un poco alla volta si imparano!

[@nancytestani1470]

Cosi ,cosi…capisco

[@MyItalianCircle]

Forza, Nancy:) c’è qualcosa che non è particolarmente chiaro?

[@antoniofuturatiani74]

I have never understood Italian language Pronouns that fit inbetween before Verb or Noun, not sure? in the grammar as I wasn't taught grammar in the School I attended. I suppose you have to use some sort intuition like a guessing game to work out what the pronoun and Verb/noun mean within the sentence, for example I was reading a Post from an Italiana lady and in the comment it had the words, si vestono, and I stumbled upon its meaning and could not grasp it so I had to use a translator. This is something I have always found difficult in reading and listening to Italian speakers and writers. I am still struggling to get it, like, Vi Ti Ne Mi Gli Ve Ci Te Ce Ciò Cioe me etcetera. Antonio Futura Tiani3574 ( Tony Farrell ).

[@MyItalianCircle]

Hi Antonio, pronouns are very tricky, also because very often they look the same but they have different functions. I talked about reflexive verbs in a specific video, and I also have a lesson on CI and NE, which are probably the most difficult particles to learn. Alongside studying them, trying to understand what they do (perform the action? receive the action?) and doing exercises with them, you can also try to memorise full sentences that make sense to you and can help you remember.

[@candycane9067]

I dont get it, so do we replace the actual word with its subject pronoun?

[@MyItalianCircle]

Pronouns replace nouns, that’s their job. In English (it, he, him, she, her, they and so on) and in Italian as well 🙂 Subject pronouns replace the subject of a sentence (who or what performs the action); direct object pronouns replace the direct object (the object of the action); indirect object pronouns replace objects that follow prepositions. Sorry for the grammar jargon, but it's necessary to understand some basic concepts.

[@sundosrasheed5554]

So difficult, I'm really struggling

[@MyItalianCircle]

Ciao! Un passo alla volta!

[@jordyboy321]

[@MatthiasS952]

Difficult

[@MyItalianCircle]

Yes, it's a complicated topic! One step at a time.

[@svetlanam4796]

Very useful but please stop telling how easy it will be and how we shouldn't worry that it is hard, It takes a good half of the video and it doesn't improve it, really...

[@MyItalianCircle]

Some people need comforting and reassurance 😆 (It takes less than 1 minute, to be fair... 😉)
