How to use CI SI in Italian 📚 FREE PDF Cheat-Sheet

Ever heard someone say Ci si vede! (See you!) in Italy as a casual farewell? This phrase isn’t just one of the many ways to say goodbye in Italian, but it actually unveils an interesting aspect of Italian grammar: the CI SI combination.

CI and SI are pronoun particles that come together when an Italian reflexive verb (those verbs where the action refers back to the subject, like mi lavo - I wash myself) is used in the impersonal form to generically express actions without pinning them to a specific subject.

Sounds complicated? Nah, it’s just a matter of understanding the role of each element. In this guide, we’ll delve into what the impersonal form entails and how it works with reflexive verbs. Once you grasp these concepts, you'll be able to use CI SI expressions with confidence.

In this video lesson, you will learn exactly how to use CI SI in Italian with a step-by-step guide, clear explanations and examples.

Momma mia Michele, ci sono così tante informazioni! Grazie sempre!

Very informative lesson, thank you! I've liked, subscribed and forwarded to my friends who are also learning Italian.
I still have a question on when to use 'ci' and 'si' in the pronominal verbs please. For example, can it be both 'godersela' and 'godercela'? Grazie mille!

Hi Michele. Thank you so much for your presentation! 🙏 It’s very comprehensive, so it necessarily has a lot in it to absorb - by the end, I felt quite blitzed by all the information and examples (not a criticism, you understand!). I’ve needed to watch it more than once, and take notes, because the link for the PDF cheat-sheet doesn’t seem to be working. Anyhow, I answered the questions: 4 right, 2 wrong! Of the two incorrect ones, I immediately saw what I’d misunderstood: with the other, I ‘sort of get it’, but I’ll admit that if pressed with another similar type of question thrown into a mix of others, I still couldn’t guarantee to get it right. 🤔 So I’ve still a little way to go before I’m fully ‘competent’ on this! 😂 However, I’ll plod on - I’m sure it will sink in eventually! Many thanks, once again though. ☺

I have to ask but will you be releasing any discount codes anytime soon as I want to learn but the price is a little out of my reach.
