<\/p>\nItalian is a beautiful language and it is not not by chance that you trying to learn it as best you can. It is musical, charming, full of harmony but also very complex and full of hidden traps.<\/p>\n
Even for native Italians there are pitfalls and doubts that lead to many mistakes both in written (increasingly influenced by those hasty cell phone messages) and in spoken language. So, do not blame yourself if you too are often assailed by doubts and make some mistakes, learning takes time and practice.<\/p>\n
But what are the most common grammatical errors made by Italians themselves (friends, relatives, people that we hear on TV)?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Let’s go through a few of them.<\/p>\n
– The subjunctive<\/strong>: a real nightmare, nowadays virtually unknown to many and increasingly obsolete. Its non-use, is not only incorrect, but also very annoying. In Italian \u201cSpero che la visita \u00e8 andata bene<\/em>\u201d sounds certainly a lot worse than \u201cSpero che la visita sia andata bene<\/em>\u201d.<\/p>\n – Apostrophes<\/strong>: The rule is actually very simple, but many do not seem to remember. Feminine words require an apostrophe while masculine ones do not. Easy, isn\u2019t it? A typical mistake would be the \u201cqual \u00e8<\/em>\u201d which should be written strictly without an apostrophe because it’s not a case of elision but a truncation of the word, while \u201c un po\u2019<\/em> \u201d is spelled with an apostrophe because it is the elision of the word \u201cpoco<\/em>\u201d.<\/p>\n – Pronouns gli<\/em>\/le<\/em>\/loro<\/em><\/strong>: here too there are many doubts and especially lack of attention regarding their proper use, although it\u2019s pretty easy. For feminine nouns the pronoun \u201cle<\/em>\u201d should be used. For the masculine singular nouns \u201cgli<\/em>\u201d and for all plurals \u201cloro<\/em>\u201d. \u201cGli ho detto che \u00e8 stata molto brava all\u2019esame<\/em>\u201d should be replaced by \u201cLe ho detto che \u00e8 stata molto brava all\u2019esame<\/em>\u201d and the sentence sounds immediately better. You\u2019ll grasp it soon!<\/p>\n – D\u2019accordo, tutt\u2019altro, a fianco<\/em><\/strong>: are examples of words that are written separately although many tend to write them together: \u201cDaccordo<\/em>\u201d, \u201ctuttaltro<\/em>\u201d e \u201caffianco<\/em>\u201d.<\/p>\n – The adverb assolutamente <\/em>(absolutely)<\/strong> : is very often used in everyday language, although often inappropriately, without being followed by an adjective or another adverb, which are \u201cabsolutely necessary<\/strong>\u201d. For example: “Ti \u00e8 piaciuta la mostra? Assolutamente…<\/em>” (it is important to specify whether yes or no).<\/p>\n In your experience as a student of Italian, which mistakes would you say you make more often?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Italian is a beautiful language and it is not not […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[58,56],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2786","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-articles-en","category-italian-language"],"yoast_head":"\n
