[How to use CI in Italian | Learn Italian with Francesco]
Knowing the use of CI is very important to speak Italian naturally and fluently.
I decided to make this video for two reasons:
Because CI has a very important role in the Italian language
Because many of you asked my to explain this in a video.
CI is used in many cases in Italian:
DIRECT PERSONAL PRONOUN
In this case CI means NOI (we).
Example:
"Quell'uomo CI guarda" = "Quell'uomo guarda NOI”
2. INDIRECT PERSONAL PRONOUN
As an indirect pronoun CI means "A NOI", "CON LUI", "CON LEI" o "CON LORO” (to us, with him, with her, with them).
Examples:
"Matteo CI ha telefonato" = "Matteo ha telefonato A NOI"
"Conosci Paolo? CI ho lavorato un anno fa" = . " Conosci Paolo? Ho lavorato CON LUI un anno fa”
3. ADVERB OF PLACE
In this case CI replaces a place, in order to not repeat it too many times in a sentence.
Example:
"Ti piace andare al mare? - Sì, CI vado spesso" = "Ti piace andare al mare? - Sì, vado spesso AL MARE"
4. PRONOMINAL PARTICLE
In this case it means A QUALCOSA o CON QUALCOSA.
Example:
"Hai pensato al nome per il ristorante? - Sì, CI ho pensato" . = . "Hai pensato al nome per il ristorante? - Sì, ho pensato A QUESTO"
"Cosa fai con il coltello? - CI taglio le carote" = . "Cosa fai con il coltello? - CON QUESTO taglio le carote"
5. PART OF THE VERB “ESSERCI”
The Italian verb ESSERCI includes the verb ESSERE + CI.
From this the forms C'É, CI SONO, C'ERA …… are derived.
In Italian this indicates the presence or the position of something in the space.
Knowing how and when to use CI will allow you to speak Italian in a more natural and fluent way.
So, if you want, you can practice the use of CI by writing some sentences in the comment section.
A presto!
Francesco
