Grazie mille Anna. I had never been able to understand about how to use the congiuntivo mood. But this video is comprehensive and you made a very clear explanation. Looking forward to next videos 👍😍

Grazie maestra

[@davidstone3831]

Allora, questo è infatti una buona introduzione alla soggetto della congiuntivo che era un po’ di un mistero a me, ma adesso e più chiaro che prima. Non vedo l’ora per episodio due perché la grammatica è interessante e molto utile.

[@MyItalianCircle]

Grazie David! Pensa che a volte anche noi scopriamo delle cose nuove quando prepariamo queste lezioni!

[@maria-zl4cf]

grazie mille molto uetile

[@sinophilia]

Da questi esempi si vede che il congiuntivo è più usato di quel che sembra, addirittura anche in frasi indipendenti! Non ci avevo mai fatto caso.

[@MyItalianCircle]

Il congiuntivo è ovunque!

[@helenakarlsson4708]

We don't have conjuntive mood in german languages, like english or swedish. I'm getting quite good at french, but conjuctive mood is still giving me problems. I've learnt all the rules, but when I speak I tend to forget. And spanish and italian are more difficult, with imperfect too.

[@MyItalianCircle]

Ciao! I understand your point of view, in fact the subjunctive in English is only used in a very formal register, and the present tense is the same as the base form in all persons, so not all speakers might be aware that it is actually subjunctive. In Romance languages, on the other hand, the conjugation is evident, but also difficult to memorise. Nevertheless, it's a powerful means to express our thoughts. :)

[@aprilmunday1152]

Ne ho paura. Pensavo che lo capisca, ma adesso credo che sia molto complesso.

[@MyItalianCircle]

In effetti è un argomento complesso, ma è meglio concentrarsi sui concetti di base e non fermarsi su tutti i piccoli dettagli :)

[@giulias.8140]

Ho una domanda: nel caso in cui non so + se siano usati insieme, è necessario il congiuntivo o l'indicativo? 🤔

[@MyItalianCircle]

Nelle interrogative indirette dopo il verbo sapere sono ammessi entrambi 😊

[@martinleroc9531]

Could someone please explain why the subjunctive 'CHE ARRIVI' is used in the sentences below: Aspetto qui all'ombra che arrivi il tram. Aspetti che arrivi il suo avvocato. Is it because the arrival is uncertain and the subjunctive expresses uncertainty?

[@MyItalianCircle]

Thank you for your question. Aspettare is part of a long list of verbs that requires the subjunctive in the dependent clause. Aspettare implies an expectation - I am waiting for something to happen. We'll talk more about the subjunctive in dependent clauses in our next video on this important verb mood.
