Hello, would like to ask you , Did u do a video about the Pronomi diretti et indiretti ? Thank you 😊

[@99problemi]

Ciao Sahra, I did a video on pronomi diretti (kzbin.info/www/bejne/mYuwmJlpbatnbc0). I still haven't done a video on indiretti though. Thanks for watching!

[@pipegarmich]

Please do one if you have time

[@clairespace3371]

I really appreciated the exercises afterwards. Thank you. Very helpful.

[@nicolescott89]

ma perché nel primo ecercizio cosa 'arrabbiarsi' quando riflessivi solo arrabbiati e non arrabbiati/e? grazie !!! great video btw, I'm from London and learning Italian in Florence for 3 months and this is hard for me so I'm trying to get as many points of view and examples as possible

[@99problemi]

Yes -- that was my careless error. You are correct that the answer could end in either i or e (if the voi referred to a group of women). Buon lavoro!

[@99problemi]

In bocca al lupo in Italia. Firenze è una città fantastica!

[@nicolescott89]

lesson about la forma riflessiva and i need a paragraph

[@99problemi]

I have two lessons about verbi riflessivi 1. al presente (kzbin.info/www/bejne/noLGhXt-naaNsLM) 2. al passato prossimo (kzbin.info/www/bejne/nqKkpYRnYtOJd80). What do you mean by "a paragraph"?

[@manabest2023]

thanks!!

[@lucindamuschialli]

That was SO useful thank you! Great to have a clear explanation plus lots of exercises 😊

[@sandradavis3302]

[@abigailbruer1889]

this video has taught me more than my Italian prof has all semester

[@99problemi]

I'm so glad you appreciate the video! Grazie mille!

[@markshoup2116]

Would vi siete arrabbiate also be correct if all the subjects were female?

[@99problemi]

Vi siete arrabbiate would only be correct for a group of women. Arrabbiati would be correct for a group of men or a mixed-gender group.

[@deemiller9543]

how do you know what the ending of a word will be? for example how does divertirsi become divertita. what happens to the (si)

[@99problemi]

Grazie per il commento, Betsy. The ending of the past participle is determined by the gender of the subject. It will conform to the rules of adjectival agreement: -o for masculine singular / -a for feminine singular / -i for masculine plural or a mixed group (m + f together) / -e for feminine plural. 'divertirsi' would conform to the same rules as 'alzarsi' in the video (2:50). If you wanted to say that: Betsy had fun, you would write: "(Betsy) si è divertita" The full conjugation of divertirsi would be: mi sono divertito/a: I had fun ti sei divertito/a: you had fun si è divertito/a: he/she/you (form) had fun ci siamo divertiti/e: we had fun vi siete divertiti/e: you (pl.) had fun si sono divertiti/e: they had fun Let me know if you still have questions.

[@Bruno-hd9qo]

+99problemi many thanks!

[@elaineewing9663]

This is the 4th video I've watched on this subject and by far the most helpful! Many thanks for sharing!

[@Schnitzelfox]

This video is great, even as an german native, this is the easiest video to understand.

[@egevemelisa]

Thank you from Turkey , i have an quiz on monday

[@rossanacraig8371]

In exercise No. 6, why is not vi siete arrabiati/e. Either masculine or feminine when no gender is specified in the exercise. Thanks for the response. These video is excellent!!! The BEST EXPLANATION by far. Having exercises to practice after is VERY helpful. THANKS!!!!!

[@99problemi]

Rossana Craig Thank you very much for the comment! You are correct that the answer could end in either i or e (if the voi referred to a group of women). Thanks for asking!

[@pipegarmich]

Very helpful thank u

[@mataev1019]

Thanks man !!! need it for the 1a

[@99problemi]

In bocca al lupo!

[@vietvu635]

In the 17 example, you change "vestirsi" to "vestito", I wonder why it was not "vestiATO" as the other example you usually got rid of the " -RSI" and replaced it with the ending -ato/a or -ati/e

[@99problemi]

+Viet Vu ciao! Vestirsi, like other -irsi or ire verbs form the past participle by removing the irsi or ire stem and adding -ito ending.

[@99problemi]

You add the -ato ending when you cut the stem off -are / -arsi verbs.

[@vietvu635]

Many thanks :D

[@99problemi]
