Italian Grammar #9 - Question Words: cos...

Italian Beginners
About this episode

Ciao!

In this episode we'll look at five question words for what, who, where, when and how - with examples and some exercises!

:)

...

Question Words:

Cosa?, Che cosa?, Che? = what

Chi? = who

Dove? = where

Quando? = when

Come? = how


Ex:

Cosa leggi? 

Cos'è un'arancia?

Chi è?

Chi ha una pizza?

Dove sei?

Dov'è la piazza?

Quando hai tempo?

Quando sei alla stazione?

Come stai? 

Com'è il tempo?


Note that "cosa è", "dove è" and "come è" are all shortened to "cos'è", "dov'è" and "com'è"!


To translate:

What is Santa Maria del Fiore?

Who is Brunelleschi?

When are you in the piazza?

Where are you today?


Perfetto! 😊
