Essere= to be Io sono Tu sei Lui/lei e’ noi siamo voi siete loro sono Avere = to have Io ho noi abbiamo Tu hai voi avete Lui/lei ha loro hanno Dare = to give Io do’ noi diamo Tu dai voi date Lui/lei da’ loro danno Dire= to say Io dico Tu dici Lui/lei dice noi diciamo voi dite loro dicono Sapere = to know ( facts) Io so noi sappiamo Tu sai voi sapete Lui/lei sa’loro sanno Conoscere = to know – to be familiar with people/places Io conosco noi conosciamo Tu conosci voi conoscete Lui/lei conosce loro conoscono Potere = to be able to Io posso noi possiamo Tu puoi voi potete Lui/lei puo’ loro possono Volere = to want Io voglio noi vogliamo Tu vuoi voi volete Lui/lei vuole loro vogliono Dovere = to have to/must do Io devo noi dobbiamo Tu devi voi dovete Lui/lei deve loro devono 2. Il participio passato (past tense) In Italian, past participles are used to form the past tense, in this way: - ATO for – ARE verbs (ex: parl+ ato for parlare) UTO for –ERE verbs (ex: ripet+uto for ripetere) ITO for IRE verbs (ex: part+ito for partire) Some verbs in Italian have irregular past participles. Here is a list of the most common: Essere Avere Conoscere Sapere Dovere Potere Volere Mettere Prendere Fare Dare Dire Leggere Uscire Crescere Nascere Morire stato avuto conosciuto Saputo Dovuto Potuto Voluto Messo Preso Fatto Dato Detto Letto Uscito Cresciuto Nato Morto 3. Il passato prossimo (The past tense) In Italian, most verbs will use AVERE (to have) as an “ausiliare” or helping verb. In English, you might say: I walked (subject+ past tense of TO WALK) In Italian, you must use: Subject (Io, tu, etc.)+ AVERE (in the present tense = ho, hai, etc.) + Past participle (participio passato del verbo camminare – to walk = camminato) So, to translate :”I walked”, you will say/write: Io (subject) ho (helping verb) cammin+ato (past participle of camminare). ( English Translation: I have walked) Some verbs, in Italian, will use ESSERE (to be) as a helping verb. These th verbs were introduced to you, at the beginning of 8 grade, in the “CASA DI ESSERE” drawing with Rosa as the main character. The most common verbs that use ESSERE as a helping verb are called “verbi di movimento” or in English, “motion, movement, or state of being, verbs). The verbs below are in the INFINITO (infinitive of a verb) and in the PARTICIPIO PASSATO (past participle of a verb): 1. Nascere 2. Morire 3. Uscire 4. Venire 5. Partire 6. Scendere 7. Arrivare 8. Cadere 9. Entrare 10. Rientrare 11. Andare 12. Stare 13. Salire 14. Ritornare nato/a morto/a uscito/a venuto/a partito/a sceso/a arrivato/a caduto/a entrato/a rientrato/a andato/a stato/a salito/a ritornato/a nati/e morti/e usciti/e venuti/e partiti/e scesi/e arrivati/e caduti/e entrati/e rientrati/e andati/e stati/e saliti/e ritornati/e For example the English sentence: I was born in Berkeley Heights, New Jersey is translated in Italian as Io sono nato (or nata) a Berkeley Heights, New Jersey and NOT as Io ho nato/nata a Berkeley Heights, New Jersey. Practical examples of sentence using Avere as a helping verb, in the past 1) I ate the pizza = Io ho mangiato la pizza 2) I walked in the park = Io ho camminato nel parco Practical examples using Essere as a helping verb, in the past: 1) I entered the house = Io sono entrato(a) a casa 2) We went to Rome = Noi siamo andati(e) a Roma IMPORTANT: every time you use ESSERE as a helping verb, you MUST remember that the past participle MUST agree in gender and number with the subject. Other important VERB facts: a) L’imperativo, or the command form, is used very often to order someone to do something. When you use it, you DO NOT need to use the subject. Examples: Vai a Milano! (You) go to Milan! Andate a Venezia (You all) go to Venice! Andiamo !(Let’s , or let us, as in a group of us) = Let’s go! b) I verbi Riflessivi, or reflexive verbs, are verbs where the action falls, or reflex, on oneself. In English, you might say: “I brush my hair”. In Italian, you must use the reflexive “Spazzolarsi”. You will drop the “si” from the ending of the verb. Then, you will drop the “ar, or er, or ir and conjugate the verb in the present tense. So, I brush my hair will be, in Italian, translated as: Io (subject) mi (personal pronoun) spazzolo (verb) I capelli (the hair) In Italian, the verb To Know is translated into Sapere and Conoscere Sapere means to know simple facts, how to do something, to have information about something Conoscere means to be acquainted with people, complex or abstract concepts rather than simple facts Examples: I know how to speak Italian = Io so parlare l’Italiano I know New York City = Io conosco New York Other important ADJECTIVE facts: a) Possessivi mean mine, yours , in English are translated “mio, tuo, suo” b) Interrogativi mean what, which, in English, are translated “che, cosa?” c) Dimostrativi mean this, that, those, in English are translated “questo(a); quello(a). Remember they always agree in gender and number with the subject d) Comparativi e Superlativi Comparativi di maggioranza e minoranza Piu’ di = More than (comparativo di maggioranza) Meno di = Less than (comparativo di minoranza) Adjectives MUST match the gender and the number of the thing or person that it describes. For example: Maria e’ piu’ bella di Viola (translation: Maria is more beautiful than Viola) Maria e’ meno bella di Viola (translation: Maria is less beautiful than Viola) Superlativi assoluti For example:Emily e’ bellissima e bravissima! in Italiano! ( Translation: Emily is very beautiful and very good in Italian!) th EXAM FORMAT: the 8 grade Italian Final consists of a Listening, a Reading, a Writing and a Speaking section. While the Listening, Reading and Writing sections will be performed in class, the Speaking section will be recorded, and submitted, on the Sentieri Supersite. Once students have submitted that portion of the exam, following the prompts on the SSS, it will be reviewed, graded by Mrs. Di Martino and added to the Final’s total score. For this academic year, 2015, I am also offering extra credit on one of the two topics for the Essay Writing section of the Final Exam. Buona fortuna a tutti!
