Ciao! Today's lesson is about prepositions in Italian. There are 2 types of prepositions, "semplici" and "articolate". In this video, I'm only showing you the first ones which are: DI, A, DA, IN, CON, SU, PER, TRA, FRA.
In brief, here is when you use them:
1) DI: ownership, comparisons, origins
2) A: location, destination, recipient
** it becomes "AD" in front of a vowel
3) DA: origins, periods of time, passive
4) IN: location, destination, transports
5) CON: with whom, how, transports
6) SU: location (on surfaces), topic
7) PER: pass across, fixed-term periods, cause/goal/destination, recipient
8) TRA/FRA: meaning of "between"/"among", period of time in the future
Watch the video to learn more through real-life examples :)
