[The Italian verbs VOLERCI and METTERCI]
Today we're going to talk about two very important and common Italian verbs.
I'm talking about the verbs VOLERCI and METTERCI.
VOLERCI refers to the amount of time necessary to get something done.
It refers to the quantity of time so it is conjugated either in the third persona singular or the third person plural.
a) CI VUOLE + singular time
Es. CI VUOLE un'ora per arrivare a Bologna ("un'ora" is singular)
b) CI VOGLIONO + plural time
Es. CI VOGLIONO molti mesi di studio per imparare l'italiano ("mesi" is plural)
METTERCI indicates the TIME A PERSON NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING.
In this case it agrees with the person and is conjugated in all the 6 persons.
Ex.
Per andare a Bologna (io) CI METTO un'ora.
CI METTIAMO molto tempo per finire questi esercizi.
I hope everything is clear!
Hugs,
Francesco
