It splits into four useful forms: <em>tu<\/em> (informal you), <em>noi<\/em> (let&#8217;s), <em>voi<\/em> (informal plural you), and <em>Lei<\/em> (polite singular, borrowed from the present subjunctive). Negative <em>tu<\/em> drops the imperative entirely and uses <em>non + infinitive<\/em>: <em>non parlare<\/em>, never <em>non parla<\/em>. With <em>tu<\/em>, <em>noi<\/em>, <em>voi<\/em>, the object pronoun glues to the verb (<em>dammelo<\/em>, <em>parliamogli<\/em>, <em>ditemelo<\/em>); with <em>Lei<\/em>, the pronoun sits before the verb (<em>me lo dia<\/em>, <em>gli parli<\/em>, <em>me lo dica<\/em>). The five short monosyllables <em>va&#8217;, da&#8217;, di&#8217;, fa&#8217;, sta&#8217;<\/em> double the consonant of any attached pronoun (<em>fammi<\/em>, <em>dimmelo<\/em>, <em>vacci<\/em>), with one exception: <em>gli<\/em> never doubles (<em>digli<\/em>, not <em>diggli<\/em>). The italian imperative collides with English in three ways, and once those three are fixed, every short Italian command falls into place.<\/p>\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide\" \/>\n\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-toc-imp14\"><div class=\"gb-inside-container\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cosa impareremo oggi<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83d\udc46\ud83c\udffb Jump to section<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide\" \/>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"#tu\">The tu imperative: regular forms<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#noi-voi\">The noi and voi forms: borrowed from the present<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#negative\">Negative tu: non plus the infinitive<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#formal\">The formal Lei: borrowed from the subjunctive<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#irregular\">Irregular monosyllables: va&#8217;, da&#8217;, di&#8217;, fa&#8217;, sta&#8217;<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#sii-abbi\">Four more irregulars: sii, abbi, sappi, vogli<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#clitics-tu\">Attached pronouns with tu, noi, voi<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#clitics-lei\">Separate pronouns with the formal Lei<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#doubling\">The doubling rule: fammi, dimmelo, vacci<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#gli-exception\">Why gli never doubles: digli, dagli<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#cheat-sheet\">Cheat sheet<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#dialogue\">Dialogue at a music school in Lucca<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#faq\">Frequently asked questions<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#related\">Related guides<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"#quiz\">Quiz<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"tu\">The tu italian imperative: regular forms<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Walk into a violin lesson in Lucca and the first words you hear are italian imperative forms: <em>siediti<\/em>, <em>respira<\/em>, <em>ascolta il metronomo<\/em>. The italian imperative starts here, with a single dedicated form for <em>tu<\/em>. For first-conjugation verbs ending in <em>-are<\/em>, the <em>tu<\/em> form drops the infinitive ending and adds <em>-a<\/em>: <em>parlare<\/em> becomes <em>parla<\/em>, <em>ascoltare<\/em> becomes <em>ascolta<\/em>, <em>suonare<\/em> becomes <em>suona<\/em>. For second-conjugation (<em>-ere<\/em>) and third-conjugation (<em>-ire<\/em>) verbs, the <em>tu<\/em> form ends in <em>-i<\/em>: <em>prendere<\/em> gives <em>prendi<\/em>, <em>dormire<\/em> gives <em>dormi<\/em>, <em>aprire<\/em> gives <em>apri<\/em>. The <em>isc<\/em>-pattern <em>-ire<\/em> verbs keep the same pattern as their present indicative: <em>finire<\/em> becomes <em>finisci<\/em>, <em>pulire<\/em> becomes <em>pulisci<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table>\n<thead><tr><th>Conjugation<\/th><th>Infinitive<\/th><th>tu imperative<\/th><th>Example<\/th><\/tr><\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr><td>-are<\/td><td>parlare<\/td><td>parla<\/td><td>Parla pi\u00f9 piano, c&#8217;\u00e8 il bambino che dorme.<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>-are<\/td><td>ascoltare<\/td><td>ascolta<\/td><td>Ascolta il metronomo prima di attaccare.<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>-ere<\/td><td>prendere<\/td><td>prendi<\/td><td>Prendi il treno delle sette, \u00e8 pi\u00f9 puntuale.<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>-ere<\/td><td>scrivere<\/td><td>scrivi<\/td><td>Scrivi qui il tuo numero, ti chiamo io domani.<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>-ire<\/td><td>dormire<\/td><td>dormi<\/td><td>Dormi ancora un&#8217;ora, \u00e8 presto.<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>-ire (isc)<\/td><td>finire<\/td><td>finisci<\/td><td>Finisci la cena prima di guardare il film.<\/td><\/tr>\n<\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That single <em>-a<\/em> versus <em>-i<\/em> split is the only thing learners need to memorise for the regular <em>tu<\/em> italian imperative. The <em>noi<\/em> and <em>voi<\/em> forms, as we will see in the next section, are simpler still: they coincide with the present indicative. So three quarters of the italian imperative paradigm is already in place once you can conjugate verbs in the present.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"noi-voi\">The noi and voi italian imperative: borrowed from the present<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For <em>noi<\/em> (let&#8217;s) and <em>voi<\/em> (you all, informal), the italian imperative reuses the present indicative form word for word, with no new ending to learn. <em>Parliamo, prendiamo, dormiamo<\/em> for <em>noi<\/em>; <em>parlate, prendete, dormite<\/em> for <em>voi<\/em>. No new ending to learn. Context tells you whether <em>parliamo<\/em> means &quot;we speak&quot; (indicative) or &quot;let&#8217;s speak&quot; (imperative).<\/p>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Andiamo a piedi, sono solo dieci minuti.<br><em>Let&#8217;s walk, it&#8217;s only ten minutes.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Aspettiamo Federica, arriva tra cinque minuti.<br><em>Let&#8217;s wait for Federica, she&#8217;ll be here in five minutes.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Ascoltate bene le indicazioni del maestro, sono importanti.<br><em>Listen carefully to the teacher&#8217;s instructions, they are important.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Finite gli esercizi prima di accendere la televisione.<br><em>Finish the exercises before turning the television on.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Mettete le scarpe nello scaffale all&#8217;ingresso.<br><em>Put your shoes on the rack at the entrance.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <em>noi<\/em> italian imperative translates the English &quot;let&#8217;s&quot; cleanly. The <em>voi<\/em> italian imperative covers everything from a teacher addressing a class to a friend speaking to a group. Because both forms also exist in the present indicative, you will rarely have trouble producing them: if you can say <em>parlate italiano<\/em> as a statement, you can also say it as a command. The italian imperative simply reuses what you already know.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-task-imp-1\"><div class=\"gb-inside-container\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83c\udfaf <strong>Italian imperative mini-challenge:<\/strong> Turn each infinitive into the italian imperative form requested.<\/p>\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>(parlare, tu) ___ pi\u00f9 forte, non ti sento.<\/li>\n<li>(prendere, tu) ___ la prima a destra, poi sempre dritto.<\/li>\n<li>(finire, tu) ___ la cena, \u00e8 quasi fredda.<\/li>\n<li>(aspettare, noi) ___ ancora cinque minuti.<\/li>\n<li>(ascoltare, voi) ___ il professore, dice cose utili.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n<details><summary><strong>\ud83d\udc49 See answers<\/strong><\/summary>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>1. <strong>Parla<\/strong> pi\u00f9 forte (tu, -are).<\/p>\n<p>2. <strong>Prendi<\/strong> la prima a destra (tu, -ere).<\/p>\n<p>3. <strong>Finisci<\/strong> la cena (tu, -ire isc).<\/p>\n<p>4. <strong>Aspettiamo<\/strong> ancora cinque minuti (noi, indicative reused).<\/p>\n<p>5. <strong>Ascoltate<\/strong> il professore (voi, indicative reused).<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"negative\">Negative tu italian imperative: non plus the infinitive<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is the negative italian imperative rule that catches every learner on the first day. The negative <em>tu<\/em> form does not negate the imperative. It replaces it. Instead of <em>parla<\/em> you say <em>non parlare<\/em>; instead of <em>prendi<\/em>, <em>non prendere<\/em>; instead of <em>finisci<\/em>, <em>non finire<\/em>. The <em>noi<\/em> and <em>voi<\/em> negatives, by contrast, just take <em>non<\/em> in front of the regular form: <em>non parliamo<\/em>, <em>non parlate<\/em>. Treccani notes the rule directly in its grammar entry: &quot;nell&#8217;imperativo negativo la 2a persona singolare \u00e8 sostituita dall&#8217;infinito&quot;.<\/p>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Non chiamarmi prima delle nove, sto ancora preparando la lezione.<br><em>Don&#8217;t call me before nine, I&#8217;m still preparing the lesson.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Non bere alcolici a cena se vuoi dormire bene.<br><em>Don&#8217;t drink alcohol with dinner if you want to sleep well.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Non saltare i pasti, mangia a orari regolari.<br><em>Don&#8217;t skip meals, eat at regular times.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Non avere paura di sbagliare, ricomincia dall&#8217;inizio.<br><em>Don&#8217;t be afraid of making mistakes, start over from the beginning.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Non parliamo di lavoro stasera, \u00e8 venerd\u00ec.<br><em>Let&#8217;s not talk about work tonight, it&#8217;s Friday.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Non parlate tutti insieme, una persona alla volta.<br><em>Don&#8217;t all talk at once, one person at a time.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The infinitive sounds odd to English speakers because it looks like a bare verb without subject (&quot;to call&quot;, &quot;to drink&quot;). In the italian imperative it carries the negative command perfectly. Resist the temptation to translate &quot;don&#8217;t speak&quot; as <em>non parla<\/em>; that sentence reads as the third person indicative (&quot;he doesn&#8217;t speak&quot;). The bare infinitive is the only correct negative <em>tu<\/em> italian imperative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"formal\">The formal Lei italian imperative: borrowed from the subjunctive<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When you address someone as <em>Lei<\/em>, the italian imperative switches engines. There is no dedicated <em>Lei<\/em> form; Italian borrows the third-person singular of the <strong>congiuntivo presente<\/strong> (present subjunctive) and treats it as the polite command. For <em>-are<\/em> verbs the ending is <em>-i<\/em>: <em>parlare<\/em> becomes <em>parli<\/em>. For <em>-ere<\/em> and <em>-ire<\/em> verbs the ending is <em>-a<\/em>: <em>prendere<\/em> becomes <em>prenda<\/em>, <em>dormire<\/em> becomes <em>dorma<\/em>, <em>finire<\/em> becomes <em>finisca<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table>\n<thead><tr><th>Conjugation<\/th><th>Infinitive<\/th><th>Lei imperative<\/th><th>Example<\/th><\/tr><\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr><td>-are<\/td><td>parlare<\/td><td>parli<\/td><td>Per favore, parli con la segretaria al primo piano.<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>-are<\/td><td>compilare<\/td><td>compili<\/td><td>Compili il modulo con i suoi dati e firmi qui sotto.<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>-ere<\/td><td>prendere<\/td><td>prenda<\/td><td>Prenda l&#8217;ascensore in fondo al corridoio.<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>-ire<\/td><td>dormire<\/td><td>dorma<\/td><td>Dorma tranquilla, le portiamo la cena in camera.<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>-ire (isc)<\/td><td>finire<\/td><td>finisca<\/td><td>Finisca pure il caff\u00e8, non c&#8217;\u00e8 fretta.<\/td><\/tr>\n<\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The negative <em>Lei<\/em> is built by putting <em>non<\/em> in front of the same subjunctive form: <em>non parli, non prenda, non dorma, non finisca<\/em>. There is no infinitive switch here; that quirk belongs to <em>tu<\/em> only. Native speakers reach for the <em>Lei<\/em> italian imperative constantly in service situations: at the post office, in a doctor&#8217;s office, at the questura (immigration office), in any shop with employees who address customers politely. If you are renting an apartment in Italy, half of what your landlord says will be in the <em>Lei<\/em> imperative.<\/p>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Si accomodi, prego. La dottoressa la riceve subito.<br><em>Please have a seat. The doctor will see you in a moment.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Non si preoccupi, le mando il programma del corso via email.<br><em>Don&#8217;t worry, I&#8217;ll send you the course schedule by email.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Mi scusi, dove si trova la stazione dei treni?<br><em>Excuse me, where is the train station?<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Vada sempre dritto fino al semaforo, poi giri a destra in via Burlamacchi.<br><em>Go straight to the traffic light, then turn right onto Via Burlamacchi.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Stia attento al gradino all&#8217;uscita, \u00e8 scuro l\u00ec sotto.<br><em>Watch out for the step on the way out, it&#8217;s dark down there.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The plural polite italian imperative <em>Loro<\/em> exists on paper (third person plural of the subjunctive: <em>parlino, prendano, dormano, finiscano<\/em>) but in everyday spoken Italian almost no one uses it. Even high-end restaurants and hotels have shifted to <em>voi<\/em> when addressing two or more guests. Save the <em>Loro<\/em> form for old novels and the most formal written correspondence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"irregular\">Irregular italian imperative monosyllables: va&#8217;, da&#8217;, di&#8217;, fa&#8217;, sta&#8217;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Five high-frequency verbs have short, apostrophed italian imperative forms in the <em>tu<\/em>: <em>va&#8217;<\/em> (andare), <em>da&#8217;<\/em> (dare), <em>di&#8217;<\/em> (dire), <em>fa&#8217;<\/em> (fare), <em>sta&#8217;<\/em> (stare). They come from a process of truncation called <em>troncamento<\/em>: the longer forms <em>vai, dai, fai, stai<\/em> existed and still exist, but the apostrophe form became the conventional choice in writing. Treccani&#8217;s grammar entry calls the modern situation a coexistence of two valid forms: &quot;la forma piena (stai, vai, fai, dai) e la forma con l&#8217;apostrofo (sta&#8217;, va&#8217;, fa&#8217;, da&#8217;)&quot;. The verb <em>dire<\/em>, on the other hand, has only the short form: <em>di&#8217;<\/em>, never <em>dici<\/em> as an imperative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table>\n<thead><tr><th>Verb<\/th><th>tu (short)<\/th><th>tu (long, modern)<\/th><th>Lei<\/th><th>noi<\/th><th>voi<\/th><\/tr><\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr><td>andare<\/td><td>va&#8217;<\/td><td>vai<\/td><td>vada<\/td><td>andiamo<\/td><td>andate<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>dare<\/td><td>da&#8217;<\/td><td>dai<\/td><td>dia<\/td><td>diamo<\/td><td>date<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>dire<\/td><td>di&#8217;<\/td><td>(no long form)<\/td><td>dica<\/td><td>diciamo<\/td><td>dite<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>fare<\/td><td>fa&#8217;<\/td><td>fai<\/td><td>faccia<\/td><td>facciamo<\/td><td>fate<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>stare<\/td><td>sta&#8217;<\/td><td>stai<\/td><td>stia<\/td><td>stiamo<\/td><td>state<\/td><\/tr>\n<\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Two spelling errors to avoid: never write <em>d\u00ec<\/em> with a grave accent for the imperative of <em>dire<\/em> (that grave accent belongs to the noun <em>d\u00ec<\/em>, &quot;day&quot;), and never write <em>v\u00e0, f\u00e0, d\u00e0, st\u00e0<\/em> with grave accents. Treccani is firm: &quot;le forme accentate st\u00e0, v\u00e0, f\u00e0, d\u00e0 sono semplicemente scorrette&quot;. The apostrophe is the correct mark, because it indicates a truncated word.<\/p>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Va&#8217; a letto, \u00e8 gi\u00e0 mezzanotte.<br><em>Go to bed, it&#8217;s already midnight.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Da&#8217; retta a tua madre, sa quello che dice.<br><em>Listen to your mother, she knows what she&#8217;s saying.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Di&#8217; la verit\u00e0, non ho voglia di indovinare.<br><em>Tell the truth, I don&#8217;t feel like guessing.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Fa&#8217; come ti pare, io ho gi\u00e0 deciso.<br><em>Do as you like, I&#8217;ve already decided.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Sta&#8217; tranquillo, andr\u00e0 tutto bene.<br><em>Don&#8217;t worry, everything will be fine.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"sii-abbi\">Four more italian imperative irregulars: sii, abbi, sappi, vogli<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Four verbs use a special italian imperative form that historically came from the old subjunctive and is now reserved for the command: <em>essere<\/em> gives <em>sii<\/em>, <em>avere<\/em> gives <em>abbi<\/em>, <em>sapere<\/em> gives <em>sappi<\/em>, <em>volere<\/em> gives <em>vogli<\/em>. The first two are part of everyday Italian; <em>sappi<\/em> appears in fixed expressions like <em>sappilo<\/em> (know this); <em>vogli<\/em> is mostly literary or stuck in set phrases. The <em>voi<\/em> plural forms are regular: <em>siate, abbiate, sappiate, vogliate<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Sii paziente con i nuovi allievi, hanno bisogno di tempo.<br><em>Be patient with the new students, they need time.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Abbi cura di quel violino, \u00e8 uno strumento antico.<br><em>Take care of that violin, it&#8217;s an antique instrument.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Sappi che la lezione di sabato \u00e8 stata spostata alle dieci.<br><em>You should know that Saturday&#8217;s lesson has been moved to ten.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Siate puntuali domani, il maestro non ama aspettare.<br><em>Be on time tomorrow, the teacher doesn&#8217;t like waiting.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Abbiate pazienza, il treno \u00e8 in ritardo di mezz&#8217;ora.<br><em>Please be patient, the train is half an hour late.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"clitics-tu\">Italian imperative clitics: attached pronouns with tu, noi, voi<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the most distinctive features of the italian imperative is what happens when you add an object or reflexive pronoun. With <em>tu<\/em>, <em>noi<\/em>, <em>voi<\/em>, the pronoun glues to the end of the verb to form a single written word: <em>parlami<\/em> (talk to me), <em>diciamogli<\/em> (let&#8217;s tell him), <em>ditelo<\/em> (say it). When two pronouns combine, they merge in the standard combined order (indirect + direct, with <em>mi\/ti\/ci\/vi<\/em> becoming <em>me\/te\/ce\/ve<\/em> before <em>lo\/la\/li\/le\/ne<\/em>): <em>dammelo<\/em> (give it to me), <em>portateceli<\/em> (bring them to us), <em>diciamoglielo<\/em> (let&#8217;s tell it to him).<\/p>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Margherita, suonalo ancora una volta, ma pi\u00f9 lento.<br><em>Margherita, play it once more, but slower.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Federica, dimmi a che ora apre la biblioteca civica oggi.<br><em>Federica, tell me what time the public library opens today.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Mauro, lavati le mani prima di sederti a tavola.<br><em>Mauro, wash your hands before sitting at the table.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Andiamoci subito, se aspettiamo non troviamo pi\u00f9 posto.<br><em>Let&#8217;s go right away; if we wait there will be no seats left.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Ditemi voi quando volete che riprendiamo le lezioni dopo le feste.<br><em>You tell me when you want us to start the lessons again after the holidays.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With the negative <em>tu<\/em> italian imperative plus a pronoun, two positions are both correct and both common. You can leave the pronoun before the infinitive (<em>non ti preoccupare<\/em>, <em>non lo dire<\/em>) or attach it to the end (<em>non preoccuparti<\/em>, <em>non dirlo<\/em>). A WordReference thread that gathered geographic data noted that northern Italy slightly prefers the attached form, while central and southern Italy lean toward the separate form. Both are standard Italian; neither is dialectal. With <em>noi<\/em> and <em>voi<\/em> negatives, the pronoun attaches in the usual way: <em>non parliamogli<\/em>, <em>non ditelo<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"clitics-lei\">Separate pronouns with the formal Lei italian imperative<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With the formal <em>Lei<\/em> italian imperative, the rule flips. The pronoun stays separate and goes <strong>before<\/strong> the verb: <em>mi dica<\/em> (tell me), <em>lo prenda<\/em> (take it), <em>si accomodi<\/em> (have a seat), <em>me lo dia<\/em> (give it to me), <em>gli telefoni<\/em> (call him). Same logic for the negative: <em>non si preoccupi<\/em>, <em>non me lo dica<\/em>, <em>non lo prenda<\/em>. The reflexive pronoun <em>si<\/em> follows the same separate-and-before rule, which is why service Italian is full of <em>si accomodi<\/em>, <em>si sieda<\/em>, <em>si calmi<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table>\n<thead><tr><th>English<\/th><th>Informal (tu): attached<\/th><th>Formal (Lei): separate, before<\/th><\/tr><\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr><td>Tell me!<\/td><td>Dimmi!<\/td><td>Mi dica!<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>Take it!<\/td><td>Prendilo!<\/td><td>Lo prenda!<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>Sit down!<\/td><td>Siediti!<\/td><td>Si sieda!<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>Give it to me!<\/td><td>Dammelo!<\/td><td>Me lo dia!<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>Call him!<\/td><td>Telefonagli!<\/td><td>Gli telefoni!<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>Don&#8217;t worry!<\/td><td>Non preoccuparti! \/ Non ti preoccupare!<\/td><td>Non si preoccupi!<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>Go away!<\/td><td>Vattene!<\/td><td>Se ne vada!<\/td><\/tr>\n<\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The opposite-direction logic between the informal and formal italian imperative is the single feature that most often confuses English speakers, because English has no comparable register split. Practice helps more than theory: a few weeks of paying attention to how shopkeepers, doctors, train conductors, and waiters address you will install the <em>Lei<\/em>-imperative-with-pronoun-before pattern automatically.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-task-imp-2\"><div class=\"gb-inside-container\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83c\udfaf <strong>Italian imperative mini-challenge:<\/strong> Rewrite each informal command as the formal <em>Lei<\/em> equivalent.<\/p>\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Dimmi a che ora arriva il treno.<\/li>\n<li>Prendi la prima a destra, poi vai sempre dritto.<\/li>\n<li>Siediti qui, ti porto un bicchiere d&#8217;acqua.<\/li>\n<li>Dammi il modulo, lo compilo io.<\/li>\n<li>Non preoccuparti del rumore, \u00e8 solo per un momento.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n<details><summary><strong>\ud83d\udc49 See answers<\/strong><\/summary>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>1. <strong>Mi dica<\/strong> a che ora arriva il treno.<\/p>\n<p>2. <strong>Prenda<\/strong> la prima a destra, poi <strong>vada<\/strong> sempre dritto.<\/p>\n<p>3. <strong>Si sieda<\/strong> qui, le porto un bicchiere d&#8217;acqua.<\/p>\n<p>4. <strong>Mi dia<\/strong> il modulo, lo compilo io.<\/p>\n<p>5. <strong>Non si preoccupi<\/strong> del rumore, \u00e8 solo per un momento.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"doubling\">The italian imperative doubling rule: fammi, dimmelo, vacci<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The five short monosyllabic italian imperative forms <em>va&#8217;, da&#8217;, di&#8217;, fa&#8217;, sta&#8217;<\/em> have a special habit: when a pronoun attaches, the first consonant of the pronoun doubles. <em>Di&#8217;<\/em> plus <em>mi<\/em> becomes <em>dimmi<\/em>, not <em>dimi<\/em>. <em>Fa&#8217;<\/em> plus <em>mi<\/em> becomes <em>fammi<\/em>. <em>Da&#8217;<\/em> plus <em>me<\/em> plus <em>lo<\/em> becomes <em>dammelo<\/em>. <em>Va&#8217;<\/em> plus <em>ci<\/em> becomes <em>vacci<\/em>. <em>Sta&#8217;<\/em> plus <em>mi<\/em> becomes <em>stammi<\/em>. Treccani&#8217;s grammar describes the rule at the entry on truncation: &quot;nel caso degli imperativi con troncamento di&#8217;, fa&#8217;, va&#8217;, sta&#8217;, da&#8217; l&#8217;unione dei pronomi porta al raddoppiamento della consonante iniziale del primo pronome&quot;.<\/p>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Pietro, fammi vedere come si tiene il coltello per quelle verdure.<br><em>Pietro, show me how to hold the knife for those vegetables.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Il volume \u00e8 troppo alto? Dimmelo, cos\u00ec lo abbasso.<br><em>Is the volume too high? Tell me so I can lower it.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Dammelo subito, non scherzare con quello strumento.<br><em>Give it to me right now, don&#8217;t fool around with that instrument.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Se davvero ci tieni ad andare al cinema, vacci.<br><em>If you really want to go to the cinema, go.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Stammi vicino, voglio sentire bene quello che spiega il maestro.<br><em>Stay close to me, I want to hear what the teacher is explaining.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The doubling does not happen with the long italian imperative forms <em>vai, dai, fai, stai<\/em>: <em>vaci<\/em>, <em>dami<\/em>, <em>fami<\/em> do not exist. The rule is strictly tied to the apostrophed monosyllables. It also does not extend to other imperatives: <em>prendimi<\/em> (not <em>prendmmi<\/em>), <em>dormici<\/em> (not <em>dormcci<\/em>), <em>scrivimi<\/em> (not <em>scrivmmi<\/em>). Only those five short verbs trigger the consonant boost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"gli-exception\">Italian imperative exception: why gli never doubles in digli, dagli<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One pronoun escapes the italian imperative doubling rule: <em>gli<\/em>. Even after one of the five short imperatives, <em>gli<\/em> stays single. <em>Di&#8217;<\/em> plus <em>gli<\/em> becomes <em>digli<\/em>, never <em>diggli<\/em>. <em>Da&#8217;<\/em> plus <em>gli<\/em> becomes <em>dagli<\/em>, not <em>daggli<\/em>. <em>Fa&#8217;<\/em> plus <em>gli<\/em> becomes <em>fagli<\/em>. The combined forms with <em>gli<\/em> followed by another pronoun (<em>glielo, gliela, glieli, gliele, gliene<\/em>) also keep the single consonant: <em>diglielo<\/em>, <em>daglielo<\/em>, <em>fagliene<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Digli che lo aspetto alle otto in punto davanti alla scuola.<br><em>Tell him I&#8217;ll wait for him at eight sharp in front of the school.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Diglielo prima che lo sappia da qualcun altro.<br><em>Tell it to him before he hears it from someone else.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Dagli un&#8217;altra possibilit\u00e0, \u00e8 ancora giovane.<br><em>Give him another chance, he&#8217;s still young.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Fagli sapere quando arrivi, cos\u00ec viene a prenderti in stazione.<br><em>Let him know when you arrive so he can pick you up at the station.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Non dirglielo per telefono, \u00e8 una notizia troppo importante.<br><em>Don&#8217;t tell it to him over the phone, it&#8217;s too important a piece of news.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This italian imperative exception has no exception. Whatever the combination, <em>gli<\/em> never doubles after a short imperative. Whenever in doubt, single <em>g<\/em> is the safe bet. Italian native speakers consider the doubled spelling <em>diggli<\/em> or <em>daggli<\/em> a clear mistake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"cheat-sheet\">Italian imperative cheat sheet<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One table to keep open while you build any italian imperative sentence.

The institutional reference is the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.treccani.it\/enciclopedia\/imperativo_(La-grammatica-italiana)\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Treccani entry on imperativo<\/a>, with usage notes on the doubling rule and the negative tu.<\/p>\n\n\n<div id=\"rank-math-faq\" class=\"rank-math-block\">\n<div class=\"rank-math-list \">\n<div id=\"faq-imp14-1\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">Why is the negative tu imperative non parlare and not non parla?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Italian builds the negative tu imperative with non + infinitive, not with non + imperative. Parla becomes non parlare, prendi becomes non prendere, finisci becomes non finire. The rule is specific to tu: the negative noi and voi forms simply add non to the regular form (non parliamo, non parlate), and the negative Lei adds non to the same subjunctive form (non parli, non prenda). If you said non parla, an Italian would hear the third-person indicative meaning he\/she does not speak. The infinitive is the only correct choice for the negative tu.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-imp14-2\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">What&#8217;s the difference between dammelo and me lo dia?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Both mean give it to me, but the register differs. Dammelo is the informal tu form, where the pronouns me and lo attach to the imperative da&#8217; with the consonant doubling typical of the five short imperatives. Me lo dia is the formal Lei form, where the pronouns stay separate and go before the verb dia (the third-person singular of the present subjunctive used as the polite command). Use dammelo with friends, family, and children; use me lo dia with strangers, professionals, older people you don&#8217;t know well, and anyone you address as Lei.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-imp14-3\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">Why does dimmi double the m?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>The five short monosyllabic imperatives va&#8217;, da&#8217;, di&#8217;, fa&#8217;, sta&#8217; trigger a consonant doubling on any attached pronoun. Di&#8217; plus mi becomes dimmi, fa&#8217; plus mi becomes fammi, da&#8217; plus me plus lo becomes dammelo, va&#8217; plus ci becomes vacci, sta&#8217; plus mi becomes stammi. The doubling happens because the apostrophe marks a truncated word; when a pronoun glues on, the first consonant of the pronoun reinforces. The rule applies only to those five short verbs, never to longer imperatives like prendere (prendimi, not prendmmi).<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-imp14-4\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">Why doesn&#8217;t gli double after di&#8217; or da&#8217;?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>The pronoun gli is the one exception to the doubling rule. Di&#8217; plus gli is digli, not diggli. Da&#8217; plus gli is dagli, not daggli. Fa&#8217; plus gli is fagli. The exception extends to the combined forms with gli + another pronoun: diglielo, daglielo, faglielo. Italian native speakers consider the doubled g a clear spelling mistake. Whenever in doubt, single g is the correct choice with gli.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-imp14-5\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">Are non preoccuparti and non ti preoccupare both correct?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Yes, both are standard Italian and both are common. With the negative tu plus a pronoun, Italian allows two positions: pronoun attached to the infinitive (non preoccuparti, non muoverti, non dirlo) or pronoun before the infinitive (non ti preoccupare, non ti muovere, non lo dire). Forum discussions among native speakers note a slight geographic preference: northern Italy leans toward the attached form, central and southern Italy toward the separate form. Neither version is dialectal or substandard. Use the one that sounds more natural to you.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-imp14-6\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">Are va&#8217; and vai both valid for go?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Yes. The classical short form is va&#8217; with the apostrophe (and the parallel forms da&#8217;, fa&#8217;, sta&#8217;). Treccani notes that the long forms vai, dai, fai, stai are also accepted in contemporary Italian. The short form is preferred in writing and in fixed expressions (va&#8217; a letto, fa&#8217; come ti pare, da&#8217; retta a me), while the long form is more common in everyday speech. What is incorrect is the grave-accent form v\u00e0, d\u00e0, f\u00e0, st\u00e0: those are spelling mistakes, never valid.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-imp14-7\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">How do clitics attach to the formal Lei imperative?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>With the formal Lei, the rule is opposite to the informal tu. Pronouns stay separate from the verb and go before it: mi dica (tell me), lo prenda (take it), si accomodi (have a seat), me lo dia (give it to me), gli telefoni (call him). The negative follows the same logic with non in front: non si preoccupi, non me lo dica, non lo prenda. The separate-and-before pattern is consistent across all reflexive, direct, indirect, and combined pronouns, which makes it easier to learn than the attached-to-the-verb informal rule.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"related\">Related guides<\/h2>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/dante-learning.com\/eng\/italian-imperative-2\/\">Italian Imperative: Tu, Lei, Noi, Voi + Pronoun Placement (A2\/B1)<\/a>: the prerequisite walkthrough of the basic forms, useful before tackling the full pronoun and doubling system here.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/dante-learning.com\/eng\/italian-reflexive-verbs\/\">Italian Reflexive Verbs: True, Reciprocal, Pronominal (B1)<\/a>: clitic placement on imperative, gerundio, and infinito for reflexive verbs.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/dante-learning.com\/eng\/italian-modal-verbs\/\">Italian Modal Verbs: Dovere, Potere, Volere, Sapere (B1)<\/a>: pairs with the polite-conditional softening of commands.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/dante-learning.com\/eng\/italian-formal-lei\/\">Italian Formal Lei: When to Switch Register (B1)<\/a>: the broader register rules behind the Lei imperative.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.treccani.it\/enciclopedia\/imperativo_(La-grammatica-italiana)\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Treccani: imperativo<\/a>: the institutional reference, in Italian.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Italian imperativo has four faces (tu, noi, voi, and the formal Lei) plus a flip to the infinitive for the negative tu.
