Direct Object Pronouns in Italian

Pronouns? Direct Objects? Direct object pronouns? Ahh! Ok, I know that in English we rarely go over these grammatical terms, so they can cause some headaches, but really, honestly, they aren't too difficult to understand. Let's first define the concept of a direct object pronoun, and then see how Italians use them!

Script by Patrizia Farina, Professor of Italian at Western Connecticut State University and Purchase College.

Holy cow! This is the best explanation I’ve seen so far. I kinda feel like I could learn Italian in half the time if you were my primary teacher, but anyway, I’m looking forward to watching the rest of your videos on Italian and other subjects as well. You’ve definitely gained a subscriber, thanks man!

Almost 2 years of studying Italian and it wasn't until this video that I finally grasped direct object pronouns. Thanks!

Thank you Prof Dave, you make Italian easier ❤

Good Job! let me tell you that "è bene" it's not really Italian. "Bene" it's used with the verbs "stare" or "fare" rather than "essere". I'd change your sentence in "Marco ha detto delle bugie anche se non dovrebbe dirle" :)
