Plus 12 idioms. Doctor-office dialogue in Genoa, five traps, mini challenges.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<p>The italian preposition su is the sixth most common simple preposition after DI, A, DA, IN and CON, and English speakers tend to underestimate it. It marks where things rest (<em>il libro sul tavolo<\/em>), what a conversation is about (<em>una lezione su Dante<\/em>), how old someone roughly is (<em>una donna sui quarant&#8217;anni<\/em>), how a transaction works (<em>su misura, su appuntamento<\/em>), and a small but vivid set of idioms (<em>su due piedi, sulle spine, su per gi\u00f9<\/em>). This guide covers every meaningful role of the italian preposition su at A2 and B1 level, with real examples from Italian streets and kitchens, the five traps that trip up English speakers, a dialogue at the doctor&#8217;s office, and a collapsible mini-challenge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-background is-style-wide\" style=\"background-color:#ab2227;color:#ab2227\" \/>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-prepsu-toc\"><div class=\"gb-inside-container\">\n\n<h2 class=\"gb-headline gb-headline-prepsu-toc-title gb-headline-text\">Cosa impareremo oggi<\/h2>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">\ud83d\udc46\ud83c\udffb Jump to section<\/p>\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide\" \/>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"#rule\">The rule: SU in one line<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#place\">Place: on top of, on the surface of<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#topic\">Topic: what something is about<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#approximate\">Approximate age, weight, time, distance<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#manner\">Manner: su misura, sul serio, su appuntamento<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#partitive\">Partitive: one out of ten<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#idioms\">12 idioms with SU to sound Italian<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#traps\">Five traps for English speakers<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#cheat-sheet\">Cheat sheet<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#dialog\">Dialogue at the doctor&#8217;s office<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#faq\">Frequently asked questions<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"gb-headline gb-headline-h2-rule gb-headline-text\" id=\"rule\">The rule: italian preposition su in one line<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Think of <strong>SU<\/strong> as the preposition of <em>surface, topic and approximation<\/em>.

The same logic gives <em>una citt\u00e0 sulla collina<\/em> (a town on a hill, perched on top), <em>una baita sulle Alpi<\/em> (a chalet in the Alps).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Trap 2: &#8220;sui trent&#8217;anni&#8221; for approximate age<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>To say someone is approximately a certain age, Italian uses SU plus the contracted article: <em>\u00e8 sui trenta, sui quaranta, sui cinquanta<\/em>. The construction always uses the plural article <em>sui<\/em> because the underlying noun is <em>anni<\/em> (years, masculine plural). For a woman in her forties: <em>\u00e8 sulla quarantina<\/em> (with the abstract noun <em>quarantina<\/em>, feminine singular). Both forms are interchangeable; the second is slightly more refined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Trap 3: &#8220;ho letto sul giornale&#8221; not &#8220;nel giornale&#8221;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>For information found in newspapers, magazines, websites, Italians use SU, not IN. <em>Ho letto un articolo sul Corriere<\/em> (I read an article in the Corriere); <em>l&#8217;ho visto su Instagram<\/em> (I saw it on Instagram); <em>c&#8217;\u00e8 scritto sul cartello<\/em> (it&#8217;s written on the sign). The logic is &#8220;on the surface of the page or screen&#8221;. English speakers default to &#8220;in&#8221;, which is grammatically possible but sounds odd to native ears.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Trap 4: &#8220;uno su quattro&#8221; not &#8220;uno di quattro&#8221;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>For partitive ratios, SU is the only correct preposition: <em>uno studente su quattro, due volte su tre, nove italiani su dieci<\/em>. English &#8220;one of four&#8221; tempts <em>uno di quattro<\/em>, which is wrong in this context (DI works for partitives like &#8220;one of us, one of them&#8221;: <em>uno di noi<\/em>). The rule: SU for ratios with a denominator, DI for partitives of a defined group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Trap 5: &#8220;sul punto di&#8221; not &#8220;punto di&#8221;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>To say &#8220;about to do something&#8221;, Italian uses <em>essere sul punto di + infinitive<\/em> or <em>stare per + infinitive<\/em>. <em>Ero sul punto di uscire<\/em> = I was about to leave. <em>Stavo per uscire<\/em> = same thing, slightly more colloquial. Don&#8217;t drop the SU: <em>ero punto di uscire<\/em> is wrong. The two constructions overlap; <em>stare per<\/em> is more frequent in spoken Italian, <em>essere sul punto di<\/em> in writing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"gb-headline gb-headline-h2-cheat gb-headline-text\" id=\"cheat-sheet\">Cheat sheet<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th>Function<\/th><th>Example<\/th><th>English<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody>\n<tr><td>Place (on a surface)<\/td><td>Il libro <strong>sul<\/strong> tavolo.<\/td><td>The book on the table.<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>Geographic position<\/td><td>Casa <strong>sul<\/strong> mare.<\/td><td>House by the sea.<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>Topic (about)<\/td><td>Lezione <strong>su<\/strong> Dante.<\/td><td>A lecture on Dante.<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>Approximate age<\/td><td><strong>Sui<\/strong> sessant&#8217;anni.<\/td><td>Around sixty.<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>Approximate quantity<\/td><td><strong>Sui<\/strong> venti chili.<\/td><td>Around twenty kilos.<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>Approximate time<\/td><td><strong>Sulle<\/strong> due ore.<\/td><td>About two hours.<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>Manner \/ fixed phrase<\/td><td><strong>Su<\/strong> misura.<\/td><td>Made to measure.<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>Manner<\/td><td><strong>Su<\/strong> appuntamento.<\/td><td>By appointment.<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>Partitive ratio<\/td><td>Uno <strong>su<\/strong> quattro.<\/td><td>One out of four.<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>Idiom<\/td><td><strong>Su<\/strong> due piedi.<\/td><td>On the spot.<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>Idiom<\/td><td><strong>Sulle<\/strong> spine.<\/td><td>On pins and needles.<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>Idiom<\/td><td><strong>Sul<\/strong> punto di.<\/td><td>About to.<\/td><\/tr>\n<\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"gb-headline gb-headline-h2-dialog gb-headline-text\" id=\"dialog\">Dialogue at the doctor&#8217;s office<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Arianna goes to her family doctor in Genova for a check-up.
