The verb in the infinitive form (the dictionary form ending in <em>-are<\/em>, <em>-ere<\/em>, <em>-ire<\/em>) is doing the work that &#8220;to + verb&#8221; does in English. No subject is named, because the statement is general: it&#8217;s easy for anyone, important for everyone. This is one of the most common building blocks in spoken Italian and you&#8217;ll need it from your first phone call with your Italian friend in Ostia. <em>Italian \u00e8 facile dire<\/em> as a structure is genuinely easy once you see the moving parts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <em>italian \u00e8 facile dire<\/em> pattern looks deceptively close to English, but Italian has two small surprises: the optional <em>di<\/em>, and the choice between infinitive and <em>che<\/em> + verb when the subject changes. We&#8217;ll cover both, with examples drawn from an afternoon Cassiopea and Ennio spent walking the ruins of Ostia antica and then arguing over the menu at a marinara just outside the gates. By the end you&#8217;ll have a phrase you can use in any conversation, from giving travel advice to commenting on the weather. The <em>italian \u00e8 facile dire<\/em> structure rewards a little practice with a lot of fluency.<\/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-ef\"><div class=\"gb-inside-container\">\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=\"#one-liner\">The one-liner: \u00e8 + adjective + infinitive<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#high-frequency\">High-frequency adjectives in the pattern<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#di-question\">Do you need &#8220;di&#8221;?

There is no named subject. The infinitive itself is the subject, in the sense that the action of saying, studying, or travelling is what we are commenting on. English does the same thing, but adds the word &#8220;it&#8221; as a placeholder: &#8220;it&#8217;s easy to say&#8221;. Italian drops the placeholder and starts straight from <em>\u00e8<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>\u00c8 facile dire.<br><em>It&#8217;s easy to say.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>\u00c8 difficile capire.<br><em>It&#8217;s hard to understand.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>\u00c8 importante studiare.<br><em>It&#8217;s important to study.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>\u00c8 bello viaggiare.<br><em>It&#8217;s nice to travel.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>\u00c8 meglio aspettare.<br><em>It&#8217;s better to wait.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Notice the rhythm: two short words, then the infinitive. Five sentences, five complete thoughts, none of them with a named subject. This compactness is one of the reasons spoken Italian moves so quickly. Italians stack these <em>italian \u00e8 facile dire<\/em> opinions in everyday conversation: at the market, on the phone, in the car. Once your ear gets used to the rhythm, you&#8217;ll hear them everywhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"high-frequency\">High-frequency adjectives in the pattern<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not every adjective fits the impersonal mould of <em>italian \u00e8 facile dire<\/em>. The pattern works mainly with adjectives that describe a quality or value of an action: how easy it is, how necessary, how pleasant, how foolish. The Treccani institutional grammar lists this as a <em>proposizione soggettiva<\/em>: the infinitive plays the role of the subject of <em>\u00e8<\/em>. Here is a working A2 set, the adjectives you&#8217;ll meet most often in textbook dialogues and real life.<\/p>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>\u00c8 facile imparare l&#8217;italiano con i podcast.<br><em>It&#8217;s easy to learn Italian with podcasts.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>\u00c8 difficile orientarsi in centro a Roma.<br><em>It&#8217;s difficult to find your way in central Rome.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>\u00c8 importante prenotare il ristorante per sabato sera.<br><em>It&#8217;s important to book the restaurant for Saturday evening.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>\u00c8 bello camminare lungo il decumano di Ostia antica.<br><em>It&#8217;s lovely to walk along the decumanus of Ostia antica.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>\u00c8 utile portare l&#8217;acqua quando si visitano gli scavi.<br><em>It&#8217;s useful to bring water when visiting the ruins.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>\u00c8 necessario timbrare il biglietto prima di salire sul treno.<br><em>It&#8217;s necessary to stamp the ticket before boarding the train.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>\u00c8 meglio aspettare il pomeriggio per evitare il caldo.<br><em>It&#8217;s better to wait for the afternoon to avoid the heat.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>\u00c8 inutile correre, il museo apre alle dieci.<br><em>There&#8217;s no point running, the museum opens at ten.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>\u00c8 impossibile visitare tutta Ostia in una sola giornata.<br><em>It&#8217;s impossible to visit all of Ostia in just one day.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>\u00c8 giusto pagare il biglietto intero se si entra alle quattro.<br><em>It&#8217;s fair to pay full price if you go in at four.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some adjectives are paired with their opposites: <em>facile \/ difficile<\/em>, <em>possibile \/ impossibile<\/em>, <em>utile \/ inutile<\/em>, <em>bello \/ brutto<\/em>, <em>giusto \/ sbagliato<\/em>. Others stand alone: <em>meglio<\/em> (which is technically a short form of &#8220;better&#8221;) and <em>peggio<\/em> (&#8220;worse&#8221;) are everywhere in casual speech. <em>Bisogna<\/em> (&#8220;one must&#8221;) works the same way grammatically but uses a different verb, and we&#8217;ll treat it in another guide.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-mt-ef1\"><div class=\"gb-inside-container\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83c\udfaf <strong>Try this.<\/strong> Match an adjective from the list with one of these verbs in the infinitive: <em>cucinare<\/em>, <em>dormire<\/em>, <em>guidare<\/em>, <em>nuotare<\/em>, <em>parlare al telefono<\/em>.<\/p>\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>__________ dopo un pasto pesante.<\/li>\n<li>__________ una zuppa di lenticchie: dieci minuti e basta.<\/li>\n<li>__________ italiano con un amico paziente.<\/li>\n<li>__________ nel traffico di Napoli all&#8217;ora di punta.<\/li>\n<li>__________ al mare a maggio: l&#8217;acqua \u00e8 ancora fredda.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<details><summary>\ud83d\udc49 Show answers<\/summary>\n<ol>\n<li>\u00c8 difficile dormire dopo un pasto pesante.<\/li>\n<li>\u00c8 facile cucinare una zuppa di lenticchie: dieci minuti e basta.<\/li>\n<li>\u00c8 bello \/ utile parlare italiano al telefono con un amico paziente.<\/li>\n<li>\u00c8 difficile \/ impossibile guidare nel traffico di Napoli all&#8217;ora di punta.<\/li>\n<li>\u00c8 meglio \/ difficile nuotare al mare a maggio: l&#8217;acqua \u00e8 ancora fredda.<\/li>\n<\/ol><\/details>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"di-question\">Do you need &#8220;di&#8221;? The short answer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is the moment most learners pause and check their grammar app. The answer is simpler than expected: in the <em>italian \u00e8 facile dire<\/em> pattern, <em>di<\/em> is optional, and dropping it is more common in spoken Italian. <em>\u00c8 facile dire<\/em> and <em>\u00e8 facile di dire<\/em> both occur, but the version without <em>di<\/em> sounds lighter and more natural at the A2 level you&#8217;re aiming for. When an infinitive functions as the subject of an impersonal <em>\u00e8 + adjective<\/em>, the preposition is not required.<\/p>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>\u00c8 difficile prenotare un tavolo al ristorante di pesce il sabato sera.<br><em>It&#8217;s hard to book a table at the seafood restaurant on Saturday evening.<\/em> (no di)<\/li>\n<li>\u00c8 importante sapere il nome della via in caso di emergenza.<br><em>It&#8217;s important to know the street name in case of emergency.<\/em> (no di)<\/li>\n<li>\u00c8 bello passeggiare tra i mosaici delle Terme di Nettuno.<br><em>It&#8217;s lovely to stroll among the mosaics of the Baths of Neptune.<\/em> (no di)<\/li>\n<li>\u00c8 meglio non aggiungere sale alle alici marinate.<br><em>It&#8217;s better not to add salt to the marinated anchovies.<\/em> (no di)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The preposition <em>di<\/em> becomes necessary when the construction is personal rather than impersonal: <em>Sono felice di vederti<\/em>, <em>Cassiopea \u00e8 contenta di essere qui<\/em>. With a named subject and an adjective of feeling, <em>di<\/em> is the link to the infinitive. That&#8217;s a different pattern, covered in our companion guide on <a href=\"https:\/\/dante-learning.com\/eng\/italian-adjectives-with-infinitive\/\">adjectives with infinitive (bravo a fare, felice di vedere)<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"facile-da\">\u00c8 facile fare vs \u00e8 facile da fare<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Italian has a second pattern that looks similar but means something different: <em>\u00e8 facile da fare<\/em>. The preposition <em>da<\/em> appears when the adjective is describing a thing, not a general action. Compare:<\/p>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>\u00c8 facile cucinare il pesce al sale. <em>(general statement: cooking salt-baked fish is an easy thing to do)<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Il pesce al sale \u00e8 facile da cucinare. <em>(describing the dish: this dish is easy to cook)<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the first sentence, <em>cucinare il pesce al sale<\/em> is the subject of <em>\u00e8<\/em>. The whole action is what&#8217;s easy. In the second sentence, the subject is <em>il pesce al sale<\/em>: the dish itself, and <em>da cucinare<\/em> describes what you do to it. The same logic explains why a guidebook says <em>Ostia antica \u00e8 facile da visitare<\/em> (the site is easy to visit, talking about the site) but a friend giving advice says <em>\u00e8 facile visitare Ostia in mezza giornata<\/em> (visiting Ostia in half a day is doable, talking about the general action).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For A2, here is the rule of thumb: <em>italian \u00e8 facile dire<\/em> with the bare infinitive is for general statements (impersonal): use <em>fare<\/em> without preposition. If you can swap with &#8220;this X is easy to + verb&#8221;, use <em>da fare<\/em> (describing the noun). Native-speaker forums have long threads on this exact split, and the conclusion is always the same: bare infinitive for the general action, <em>da<\/em> + infinitive when you&#8217;re describing a specific thing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"che-subjunctive\">When the subject changes: \u00e8 importante che<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Up to now everything has been impersonal: a general statement true for everyone. The moment you want to point at a specific person, the structure has to grow a tail. You can&#8217;t say <em>\u00e8 importante studiare Ennio<\/em> to mean &#8220;it&#8217;s important that Ennio studies&#8221;. The verb has to change, and you need the word <em>che<\/em>. At A2 you&#8217;ll mainly hear two solutions:<\/p>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>\u00c8 importante che tu studi ogni giorno.<br><em>It&#8217;s important that you study every day.<\/em> (subjunctive: studi)<\/li>\n<li>\u00c8 meglio che noi prenotiamo subito.<br><em>It&#8217;s better that we book right away.<\/em> (subjunctive: prenotiamo)<\/li>\n<li>\u00c8 difficile che Ennio arrivi prima delle otto.<br><em>It&#8217;s unlikely that Ennio will arrive before eight.<\/em> (subjunctive: arrivi)<\/li>\n<li>\u00c8 necessario che voi partiate alle sette.<br><em>It&#8217;s necessary that you all leave at seven.<\/em> (subjunctive: partiate)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The verb after <em>che<\/em> goes into the subjunctive (<em>congiuntivo<\/em>). The subjunctive is a B1 topic in its own right, but at A2 it&#8217;s enough to recognize the swap: when the second verb has its own subject, you need <em>che<\/em> + that verb, and the form is slightly different from the indicative you already know. We give the full picture in our guide to <a href=\"https:\/\/dante-learning.com\/eng\/italian-infinitive-as-noun\/\">the Italian infinitive as a noun<\/a>, which connects this pattern with other subject-clause uses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"pronoun\">Adding a pronoun to the infinitive<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If the verb in the infinitive has an object, you can attach the object pronoun directly to the infinitive. The infinitive loses its final <em>-e<\/em> and the pronoun is welded on: <em>dire<\/em> + <em>lo<\/em> becomes <em>dirlo<\/em>. <em>Capire<\/em> + <em>la<\/em> becomes <em>capirla<\/em>. <em>Fare<\/em> + <em>li<\/em> becomes <em>farli<\/em>. This is the standard A2 way to handle object pronouns inside the <em>italian \u00e8 facile dire<\/em> construction.<\/p>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>\u00c8 facile dirlo, ma \u00e8 difficile farlo.<br><em>It&#8217;s easy to say it, but it&#8217;s hard to do it.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Questo problema? \u00c8 impossibile capirlo senza un esempio.<br><em>This problem? It&#8217;s impossible to understand it without an example.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Le alici sono ottime. \u00c8 inutile cucinarle troppo.<br><em>The anchovies are excellent. There&#8217;s no point overcooking them.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>\u00c8 bello vederla cos\u00ec serena dopo la passeggiata.<br><em>It&#8217;s lovely to see her so peaceful after the walk.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What you cannot do is detach the pronoun and put it in front of <em>\u00e8<\/em>. The form <em>lo \u00e8 facile dire<\/em> is wrong. The pronoun lives with the infinitive, not with the impersonal verb. This is the opposite of what happens with modal verbs like <em>posso<\/em>, where you have a choice: <em>lo posso fare<\/em> or <em>posso farlo<\/em>. With impersonal <em>\u00e8 + adjective<\/em>, there&#8217;s no choice, the pronoun stays attached to the infinitive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"facile-likely\">A side meaning: \u00e8 facile che (it&#8217;s likely)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In spoken Italian, <em>\u00e8 facile che<\/em> followed by the subjunctive doesn&#8217;t mean &#8220;it&#8217;s easy&#8221;. It means &#8220;it&#8217;s likely&#8221;. A native speaker hearing <em>\u00e8 facile che piova stasera<\/em> will understand &#8220;it&#8217;s likely to rain tonight&#8221;, not &#8220;it&#8217;s easy that it rains&#8221;. Context disambiguates: if there&#8217;s no <em>che<\/em> and the infinitive follows directly, the meaning is &#8220;easy&#8221;. If <em>che<\/em> + subjunctive follows, the meaning slides toward &#8220;likely&#8221;. The same dual meaning is well documented in native-speaker discussions of this construction.<\/p>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>\u00c8 facile capire questo testo. <em>(easy to understand)<\/em><\/li>\n<li>\u00c8 facile che tu capisca questo testo. <em>(it&#8217;s likely that you understand\u2026)<\/em><\/li>\n<li>\u00c8 facile prenotare online. <em>(easy to book)<\/em><\/li>\n<li>\u00c8 facile che Ennio prenoti il tavolo sbagliato. <em>(it&#8217;s likely that Ennio books the wrong table)<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The same dual meaning appears with <em>\u00e8 difficile<\/em>: <em>\u00e8 difficile capire<\/em> means &#8220;hard to understand&#8221;, while <em>\u00e8 difficile che venga<\/em> means &#8220;it&#8217;s unlikely he&#8217;ll come&#8221;. At A2 you&#8217;ll mainly produce the first meaning of <em>italian \u00e8 facile dire<\/em>.

class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These are the questions that English-speaking learners ask most often about the <em>italian \u00e8 facile dire<\/em> structure, drawn from real native-speaker discussions and from the Treccani institutional grammar&#8217;s notes on subject clauses. The <em>italian \u00e8 facile dire<\/em> pattern hides a few subtleties, and the answers below tackle them one by one.<\/p>\n\n\n<div id=\"rank-math-faq\" class=\"rank-math-block\">\n<div class=\"rank-math-list \">\n<div id=\"faq-ef-q1\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">Do I always need &#8216;di&#8217; before the infinitive in &#8216;\u00e8 facile dire&#8217;?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>No. In the impersonal pattern, di is optional and is usually dropped in spoken Italian. \u00c8 facile dire and \u00e8 facile di dire both occur in writing, but \u00e8 facile dire sounds more natural and is what you should aim for at A2 level. The optional di is a relic of older usage. The preposition di becomes obligatory only when the construction is personal: Sono felice di vederti needs di because the subject is named (io). When the subject is impersonal, the infinitive plays the role of subject by itself and no preposition is needed to link it to the adjective.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-ef-q2\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">What&#8217;s the difference between &#8216;\u00e8 facile fare&#8217; and &#8216;\u00e8 facile da fare&#8217;?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Different subjects. \u00c8 facile fare X is impersonal: the general action of doing X is easy, with no specific thing in mind. Questo \u00e8 facile da fare describes a specific thing: this particular item is easy to do. So you say \u00e8 facile cucinare il pesce al sale (cooking salt-baked fish in general is easy) but il pesce al sale \u00e8 facile da cucinare (this specific dish is easy to cook). In English the distinction is harder to see because both translate as &#8216;easy to&#8217;. The Italian preposition da signals that the infinitive describes the noun, like a passive description.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-ef-q3\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">Can I use the subjunctive instead of the infinitive after &#8216;\u00e8 importante&#8217;?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Yes, when the subject changes. Same subject for both verbs, you use the infinitive: \u00e8 importante studiare (general or referring to the same speaker). Different subject, you switch to che + subjunctive: \u00e8 importante che tu studi (it&#8217;s important that you study). The subjunctive is a B1 topic but at A2 you should recognize the pattern when you hear it. The full list of triggers includes \u00e8 importante, \u00e8 necessario, \u00e8 meglio, \u00e8 bello, \u00e8 giusto, \u00e8 difficile, \u00e8 facile.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-ef-q4\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">Does &#8216;\u00e8 facile&#8217; ever mean &#8216;it&#8217;s likely&#8217;?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Yes. \u00c8 facile che + subjunctive means &#8216;it&#8217;s likely that&#8217;. \u00c8 facile che piova domani means &#8216;it&#8217;s likely to rain tomorrow&#8217;. The same dual meaning applies to \u00e8 difficile che, which means &#8216;it&#8217;s unlikely that&#8217;. Native speakers disambiguate with context: if che + subjunctive follows, the meaning slides toward probability. If the infinitive follows directly with no che, the meaning is &#8216;easy to&#8217;. You&#8217;ll mainly produce the first meaning at A2; you just need to recognize the second when you hear it.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-ef-q5\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">Why does Italian say &#8216;\u00e8 bello restare&#8217; but English says &#8216;it&#8217;s nice TO stay&#8217;?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>English needs the infinitive marker &#8216;to&#8217; (or &#8216;for X to&#8217;) before the verb. Italian uses the bare infinitive after the impersonal \u00e8 + adjective because the infinitive itself functions as the subject of \u00e8. The Treccani grammar calls this construction a proposizione soggettiva, a subject clause. You can think of restare as a noun-like form: the staying is nice. Italian also drops the placeholder &#8216;it&#8217; that English requires; \u00e8 bello restare is literally &#8216;is nice to-stay&#8217; but reads as &#8216;it&#8217;s nice to stay&#8217;.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-ef-q6\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">Can I attach an object pronoun to the infinitive after &#8216;\u00e8 facile&#8217;?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Yes. The infinitive loses its final -e and the pronoun is welded on: dire + lo becomes dirlo, capire + la becomes capirla, fare + li becomes farli. So \u00e8 facile dirlo, \u00e8 difficile capirla, \u00e8 impossibile farli. The pronoun cannot detach and jump in front of \u00e8: the form lo \u00e8 facile dire is wrong. This is different from modal verbs like posso, where the pronoun can move: lo posso dire or posso dirlo are both fine. With impersonal \u00e8 + adjective, the pronoun stays attached.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-ef-q7\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">Is &#8216;\u00e8 meglio&#8217; followed by the infinitive or by &#8216;che&#8217; + subjunctive?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Both, depending on the subject. \u00c8 meglio aspettare is general advice for anyone (or for the speaker themselves). \u00c8 meglio che tu aspetti is advice directed at a specific person, with the subjunctive aspetti showing that. The same logic applies to \u00e8 meglio non discutere (general) and \u00e8 meglio che voi non discutiate (specific). At A2 you&#8217;ll produce mainly the infinitive version. The subjunctive version is recognition-level: you should understand it when you hear it, even if you don&#8217;t produce it yet.<\/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-adjectives-with-infinitive\/\">Italian Adjectives + Infinitive: Bravo a Fare (B1)<\/a>: the personal counterpart with named subjects.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/dante-learning.com\/eng\/italian-infinitive-as-noun\/\">Italian Infinitive as Noun: Il Partire (B1)<\/a>: when the infinitive itself acts as a noun.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/dante-learning.com\/eng\/italian-preposition-di\/\">Italian Preposition DI: 13 Uses + Cheat Sheet (B1 Guide)<\/a>: the wider map of <em>di<\/em>, including <em>di<\/em> + infinitive.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.treccani.it\/enciclopedia\/proposizioni-soggettive_(La-grammatica-italiana)\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Treccani: proposizioni soggettive<\/a>: the institutional grammar entry on subject clauses.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\ud83d\udd0d In short.
