I came across this topic in one of my lessons a couple of months ago and it made no sense so I moved on. Today, I came across them again and looked up your video and I finally get it!! I'm so happy because verb conjugations in general are a big weakness of mine that I need to learn to speak Italian. I have a relatively large Italian vocabulary but without proper verb conjugations I'll never be able to have a dialog in Italian. I'm one step close now. Thank you so much!!
Thanks Professor Dave - it helped me tremendously to finally understand reflexive verbs in Italian! Could you pls start an ONLine Italian course?? That’d be ecceziinal - definitely would sign up - love your Italian tutorials - 😊 🙏
I am just finishing my 2nd Year Italian Class (2 hours a week). Out of ten,I get one or two.I let down my tutor and the other students in classroom activities and also my homework.I do my best and it is not good enough. I have done four languages before. I get one or two out ten.I think I do 1st Year French again this September.I will get one or two out of ten as usual.I do my best, not to worry.❤️.
I love this video it helped me so , so much! Thank you for this Dave. I was wondering, what is your middle name. I am verry curious. And you are so great at answering questions. (And explaining) Thanks in advanve. Good day!
Grazie mille . I have a question about ( alzarsi). I have seen the film of ( scugnizzi 1989) and at the beginning of this film , the boy sings ( sce dodo sce ) and at the cinema here , this has been translated as ( alza ti ) . Is this meaning for ( sce dodo sce) true? If true , why isn't it said ( alzati)? Thank you for answer.
It seems to say "I bought the mushrooms and wash them." (I'm not an expert in Italian grammar, so I could be wrong." I think if you were trying to say "I bought the mushrooms and WASHED them" you would have to use passato prossimo for lavarsi, too. So maybe "Ho comprato i funghi e li ho lavato." Take it with a grain of salt. I'm a beginner.
@@marudebaka6041 bravissimo, sto riguardando questo vecchio commento e sto ridendo a crepapelle ahaahahah..

The proper infinitive is ALZARE, the reflexive pronoun is SI. When you attach the reflexive pronoun (or any other kind of pronoun) to the infinitive, you have to cut off the final E first, so the reflexive infinitive becomes ALZARSI.

This was SO helpful. I appreciate how straightforward you are with the rules and examples. This was also not a tedious lesson, thank you!!!
Very clearly and understandably explained. Benissimo!

You need to be doing two hours of study per day or you'll die of old age before you learn to speak fluent Italian!
Non preoccuparti.

Scetate, sce'(tate)!: wake up!. It is Neapolitan language
is decidersi also for "making a decision"?

Confused about How Francesca falling in love with a doctor is reflexive
Because "falling in love" is a reflexive verb in Italian. I don't think there is any other reason.
Why in the first example is it le lava instead of si lava?
The first example is a review of transitive verbs, not a reflexive verb.
I believe it's because "le" means "them" so "le lava" means "He washes them (the vegetables)."
"Si lava" would mean "He washes himself."
bruh
hey dave be great to know how old are you I'm guessing around 26
hah! i wish! i'm 35.
hey dave just curious to know what's your middle name
Titus Rudkin - i agree that it would be great to know. I sure hope that Profesor dave replies to your comment or mine.
james!
Is this sentence correct (?): Ho comprato i funghi e li lavo.
It seems to say "I bought the mushrooms and wash them." (I'm not an expert in Italian grammar, so I could be wrong." I think if you were trying to say "I bought the mushrooms and WASHED them" you would have to use passato prossimo for lavarsi, too. So maybe "Ho comprato i funghi e li ho lavato."

@@damianow.6114 What other resources did you use to learn?
Bisogna alzarsi .... isn't alzarsi the inifintive? so where is the pronoun after that?
The proper infinitive is ALZARE, the reflexive pronoun is SI.
When you attach the reflexive pronoun (or any other kind of pronoun) to the infinitive, you have to cut off the final E first, so the reflexive infinitive becomes ALZARSI.
si reflexive pronoun
rádersi not radérsi
Amazing!
