Italian Grammar #18 - Simple Preposition...

Italian Beginners
About this episode

Ciao!

In this episode we'll look at the simple prepositions, and the different ways of using "di" = usually "of"!

:)

...


The Prepositions:

di = of

a = to, at, in

da = from, by

in = in

con = with

su = on, over, above

per = in order to, for

tra/fra = among, between


Ex:

Uno studente di italiano.

Un treno da Roma a Firenze.

Studia in biblioteca.


"di" can describe possession, origin, material, time and subject/topic:

La bicicletta è di Mario.

Sono di Firenze.

Un tavolo di legno.

Di mattina bevo caffè.

Un libro di letteratura.


Perfetto!

😊
