The Italian PREPOSITIONS (DI, A, DA, IN, CON, SU, PER, TRA, FRA)

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 :)

Grazie per la lezione. Prepzione sono molte difficile per me. I was wondering why we use Per instead of Tra/Fra in this example you gave: E' stato in Germania per 8 mesi but in the next examples you used Fra: Ti chiamo tra un'ora And Si sposano fra 5 mesi. Is it because the latter two are in the future? And the first example has a set time? Thank you!

Hi Ambra, I found this video to be very helpful. I like how you organized the prepositions and their meaning while color-coding the different categories. I am visually oriented so this helps me a lot. I have a question. Can TRA & FRA be used interchangeably? For example, "Il diziornario e' FRA i miei libri." Would it be incorrect to use TRA instead of FRA in that sentence?

[bikisapoudel]

Thank you for this video ❤️

Hi, thanks so much for this... just starting on my Italian journey. :Learning lots. :)

I'm not sure why it's "Danno" and not "Dano" for "they give"?
