I complete the 1st lesson...
BRAVO to one man
BRAVI to many men
BRAVA to one woman
BRAVE to many women
Italian is a bit difficult in verbs and word-ends
to give you an example, an italian verb may be:
I AM Io sono
YOU ARE Tu sei
HE IS Lui e'
SHE IS Lei e'
IT IS Esso e'
WE ARE Noi siamo
YOU ARE Voi siete
THEY ARE Essi sono
You can catch the big difference with english: the verb change in each form, and this happen with all verbs, with rules that change for EACH verb, with difference also in times (past, present....etc)!....
And I add a easy rule to speak italian phrases:
the vocals in Italian have to be pronounced always in the same way:
A as O in mOther
E as bEtter
I as wIn
O as bOred
U as yoU
If you follow this rule, you will read a right italian...... (I hope...:-) )
Ciao and PFNAD
