The <strong>italian tranne eccetto<\/strong> pair sits at the centre of the system, with <em>fuorch\u00e9<\/em> and <em>salvo<\/em> orbiting around it as register variants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide\" \/>\n\n\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-toc-trannet\"><div class=\"gb-inside-container\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"gb-headline gb-headline-toc-h-trannet gb-headline-text\" style=\"text-align:center;font-size:24px\">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\" \/>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"#four\">The four exclusion words at a glance<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#tranne\">Italian tranne: the everyday default<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#eccetto\">Italian eccetto: a touch more written<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#fuorche\">Italian fuorch\u00e9: rare and stylish<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#salvo\">Italian salvo: formal and unpredictable<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#che\">When to add &#8220;che&#8221; after them<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#object\">Pronoun forms: tranne me, not tranne io<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#salvo-inf\">Salvo + infinitive: &#8220;only to&#8221;<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#cheat-sheet\">Cheat sheet: which one to pick<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#mistakes\">Three common mistakes<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#dialog\">Dialog: at a Sassari agriturismo<\/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=\"four\">The four exclusion words at a glance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Walk into a tavola calda in Sassari at lunchtime and listen to how a waiter recites the menu: <em>oggi abbiamo tutto, tranne le lasagne<\/em>. Walk into a small claims hearing in the same city and you will hear: <em>il contratto resta valido, salvo diversa pattuizione delle parti<\/em>. Same idea, an exception carved out of a whole, but the word changes with the room. The <strong>italian tranne eccetto<\/strong> family covers exactly this: subtracting one item from a set you have just named.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <strong>italian tranne eccetto<\/strong> system is small (four words plus their <em>che<\/em> extensions) and that is its strength. Once you have the four labels in your head, every &#8220;except&#8221; sentence in Italian lands in one of four bins. Pick the bin, pick the word, and the rest of the sentence builds itself around it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All four members of the <strong>italian tranne eccetto<\/strong> system (<em>tranne<\/em>, <em>eccetto<\/em>, <em>fuorch\u00e9<\/em>, <em>salvo<\/em>) work as prepositions: they sit before a noun, a pronoun, an adverb, or an infinitive, and they subtract it from a previously stated whole. The whole is usually marked by <em>tutto<\/em>, <em>tutti<\/em>, <em>nessuno<\/em>, <em>ogni<\/em>, <em>ovunque<\/em>, or by a complete list. None of the four <strong>italian tranne eccetto<\/strong> words takes <em>di<\/em> in front of the next word in standard modern usage. The choice between them is mostly a matter of register and of how predictable the exception feels.<\/p>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Vengono tutti alla discussione tranne Marco.<br><em>Everyone is coming to the thesis defence except Marco.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Mangia di tutto eccetto la carne di maiale.<br><em>She eats everything except pork.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Chiedimi qualsiasi favore fuorch\u00e9 restare in citt\u00e0 ad agosto.<br><em>Ask me any favour except staying in town in August.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Il caseificio \u00e8 aperto ogni giorno, salvo i festivi.<br><em>The dairy is open every day, except public holidays.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the four sentences above, swapping <em>tranne<\/em> with <em>eccetto<\/em> or <em>fuorch\u00e9<\/em> inside the <strong>italian tranne eccetto<\/strong> system would not change the meaning, only the tone. Swapping <em>salvo<\/em> for <em>tranne<\/em> in the dairy sentence would also work, but the original sounds slightly more like a notice on the shop door, while <em>tranne i festivi<\/em> sounds more like a friend telling you when to come over. That is the whole tonal range of the <strong>italian tranne eccetto<\/strong> system in one micro-comparison.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"tranne\">Italian tranne: the everyday default<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Inside the <strong>italian tranne eccetto<\/strong> family, <em>tranne<\/em> is the word a native reaches for first when speaking. It is neutral, modern, and works in every situation that calls for &#8220;except&#8221; without ceremony. The most common Italian dictionary example, the kind Treccani uses to define the word, is <em>mangio tutto tranne il minestrone<\/em>. There is no register flag attached to <em>tranne<\/em>: you can use it in a text message, in a polite email, in a thesis introduction. Of the four <strong>italian tranne eccetto<\/strong> options, this one fits the widest range of contexts.<\/p>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Vado in biblioteca tutti i giorni tranne il sabato.<br><em>I go to the library every day except Saturday.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Ho risposto a tutte le domande tranne l&#8217;ultima.<br><em>I answered all the questions except the last one.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Sono partiti tutti per il ponte tranne me, che ho il turno al museo.<br><em>Everyone left for the long weekend except me, who has a shift at the museum.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Ho letto tutti i romanzi di Grazia Deledda tranne <em>Canne al vento<\/em>.<br><em>I have read all of Grazia Deledda&#8217;s novels except <\/em>Canne al vento.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One small note. <em>Tranne<\/em> can also be followed by <em>che<\/em> when the next element is not a plain noun but a whole phrase, an adverb, or a verb construction: <em>sono disposta a tutto, tranne che a dormire fuori al freddo<\/em>. We come back to the <em>che<\/em> question in its own section below. For now, the rule of thumb is simple: <em>tranne<\/em> alone in front of a noun or pronoun is your safe everyday default.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"eccetto\">Italian eccetto: a touch more written<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Inside the <strong>italian tranne eccetto<\/strong> pair, <em>eccetto<\/em> sits very close to <em>tranne<\/em> in meaning, but a notch above in register. You meet it more often in writing (newspaper articles, formal notices, museum signage, the back of a packaging label) and less often in everyday chat. Native speakers feel the <strong>italian tranne eccetto<\/strong> pair as near-synonyms; if you find <em>eccetto<\/em> in a sentence and replace it with <em>tranne<\/em>, nobody flinches.<\/p>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A casa mangiamo di tutto eccetto la carne di maiale.<br><em>At home we eat everything except pork.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Tutti i formaggi del banco sono di latte vaccino, eccetto il fiore sardo.<br><em>All the cheeses on the counter are cow&#8217;s milk, except fiore sardo.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Hanno scritto tutti la tesi in italiano, eccetto Rosita che l&#8217;ha scritta in sardo.<br><em>They all wrote their thesis in Italian, except Rosita who wrote hers in Sardinian.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Aperto dal luned\u00ec al venerd\u00ec, eccetto i giorni festivi.<br><em>Open Monday to Friday, except public holidays.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Practical guidance for the <strong>italian tranne eccetto<\/strong> choice: if you are unsure, use <em>tranne<\/em> when speaking and either when writing. The reverse, <em>eccetto<\/em> in casual speech, is not wrong, but it sounds a bit stiff, the way &#8220;save for&#8221; would sound in English where you might naturally say &#8220;except&#8221;. Native speakers do say <em>eccetto<\/em> out loud, just less often. Treat the <strong>italian tranne eccetto<\/strong> pair as one drawer with two labels: pick the label that matches the room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"fuorche\">Italian fuorch\u00e9: rare and stylish<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Outside the <strong>italian tranne eccetto<\/strong> pair, <em>fuorch\u00e9<\/em> is the rarest of the four and carries a faintly literary aftertaste. You hear it in essays, in newspaper editorials, in carefully written novels, and in the speech of people who like a slightly elevated turn of phrase. It is also the one with the most &#8220;personality&#8221;: pulling out <em>fuorch\u00e9<\/em> instead of any member of the <strong>italian tranne eccetto<\/strong> default draws a tiny bit of attention to itself. A common Italian example, the kind Treccani cites, is <em>chiedimi tutto fuorch\u00e9 lavare i piatti<\/em>. Note how the verb in the infinitive comes straight after, without any <em>di<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Sono venuti tutti i colleghi della facolt\u00e0 fuorch\u00e9 il professore di filologia.<br><em>All the colleagues from the faculty came except the philology professor.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Mi piacciono tutte le verdure cotte alla griglia, fuorch\u00e9 le melanzane.<br><em>I like all the grilled vegetables, except aubergines.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Hanno giocato tutti fuorch\u00e9 me.<br><em>Everyone played except me.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Chiedimi qualsiasi cosa fuorch\u00e9 parlare in pubblico.<br><em>Ask me anything except speaking in public.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Two small notes on <em>fuorch\u00e9<\/em>. First, it always carries the acute accent on the final e (<em>fuorch\u00e9<\/em>, never <em>fuorche<\/em>). Second, when an infinitive follows, no <em>di<\/em> is inserted: <em>fuorch\u00e9 lavare<\/em>, not <em>fuorch\u00e9 di lavare<\/em>. Inserting <em>di<\/em> is a common slip among learners who calque the English &#8220;except for doing&#8221;; native ears catch it instantly. If you can swap any member of the <strong>italian tranne eccetto<\/strong> default in and the sentence still works, the construction is right.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-task-fuorche\"><div class=\"gb-inside-container\">\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83c\udfaf <strong>Mini-task #1.<\/strong> Fill the gap with the most natural exclusion word.

It lives in legal language, in contracts, in shop notices, in train timetables, and in any context where the exception feels like a clause carved out of a rule. Article 16 of the Italian Constitution opens with it: <em>ogni cittadino \u00e8 libero di uscire dal territorio della Repubblica e di rientrarvi, salvo gli obblighi di legge<\/em>. That formality is the first thing to remember, and it is the main reason to step away from the <strong>italian tranne eccetto<\/strong> default when the room asks for a tie and a stamp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The second thing is more subtle. Native speakers often reach for <em>salvo<\/em> when the exception is unpredictable or contingent, when something might or might not happen, when a strike or a delay could change the picture. <em>Salvo imprevisti<\/em>, <em>salvo intoppi<\/em>, <em>salvo guasti<\/em> are set phrases that work like English &#8220;barring&#8221; rather than plain &#8220;except&#8221;. A online forums forum thread sums it up well: where you would say &#8220;you&#8217;ll get to your town except for a strike&#8221;, Italian reaches for <em>salvo uno sciopero<\/em> precisely because the strike is the unpredictable bit.<\/p>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Salvo imprevisti, ci vediamo alle otto al porto vecchio.<br><em>Barring something unexpected, see you at eight at the old harbour.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Il caseificio \u00e8 aperto ogni giorno, salvo i festivi.<br><em>The dairy is open every day, except public holidays.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>La trattoria serve lo stesso men\u00f9, salvo la domenica quando aggiungono il porceddu.<br><em>The trattoria serves the same menu, except on Sunday when they add roast suckling pig.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>La consegna avviene entro tre giorni, salvo errori del corriere.<br><em>Delivery happens within three days, barring courier errors.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One more note on <em>salvo<\/em>: at the start of a sentence it can drift toward &#8220;subject to&#8221; or &#8220;save for&#8221;, almost a synonym of <em>fatti salvi<\/em>. <em>Salvo diverso accordo, il prezzo \u00e8 quello indicato<\/em> = &#8220;subject to any different agreement, the price is the one shown&#8221;. This contractual flavour is exactly why a shopkeeper writing the closing hours on the door tends to choose <em>salvo<\/em> over the <strong>italian tranne eccetto<\/strong> default: it announces the exception with a touch of authority.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"che\">When to add &#8220;che&#8221; after them<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All four members of the <strong>italian tranne eccetto<\/strong> system can take a small <em>che<\/em> after them in certain situations. The pattern is consistent: bare word in front of a plain noun, pronoun, or adverb; <em>+ che<\/em> in front of a prepositional phrase, an infinitive after a verb that needs an object marker, or a comparison. The everyday rule is to follow your ear: if you have already used a preposition before the exception, the <em>che<\/em> reappears together with the preposition.<\/p>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Vengono tutti tranne Cirino. (bare noun)<br><em>Everyone is coming except Cirino.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Sono disposta a tutto tranne che a dormire fuori al freddo. (preposition repeats)<br><em>I&#8217;m willing to do anything except sleep outside in the cold.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Ho parlato con tutti tranne che con il direttore.<br><em>I spoke with everyone except the director.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Mangio tutto eccetto che la verdura amara. (rare with eccetto, more often bare)<br><em>I eat everything except bitter greens.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <em>+ che<\/em> form opens a second door, into the world of conjunctions. When <em>tranne che<\/em>, <em>eccetto che<\/em>, <em>salvo che<\/em> introduce a whole clause with a verb, they leave the <strong>italian tranne eccetto<\/strong> preposition territory and behave like exceptive conjunctions, usually wanting the subjunctive, but that whole subject is for the conjunctions guide, not this one. Here, stay with the preposition use: short word, short item after it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"object\">Pronoun forms: tranne me, not tranne io<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because all four members of the <strong>italian tranne eccetto<\/strong> set are prepositions, the pronoun that follows them is the stressed object form: <em>me, te, lui, lei, noi, voi, loro<\/em>. English speakers sometimes reach for the subject form because English allows &#8220;except I&#8221; loosely; Italian does not. Treccani&#8217;s canonical example for <em>fuorch\u00e9<\/em> shows the rule in one line: <em>hanno giocato tutti fuorch\u00e9 me<\/em>. The same logic applies to every member of the <strong>italian tranne eccetto<\/strong> family.<\/p>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Sono partiti tutti tranne me.<br><em>Everyone left except me.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Nessuno l&#8217;ha capita, eccetto lui.<br><em>Nobody understood her, except him.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Hanno parlato tutti, fuorch\u00e9 noi due.<br><em>Everyone spoke, except the two of us.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Salvo loro, nessun altro conosce la combinazione della cassa.<br><em>Apart from them, nobody else knows the till combination.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One advanced note for the curious. Italian grammars point out that the four <strong>italian tranne eccetto<\/strong> prepositions cannot be followed by the relative pronoun <em>cui<\/em>: <em>tranne cui<\/em>, <em>eccetto cui<\/em> are ungrammatical. In those rare contexts, Italian uses <em>il quale<\/em> instead: <em>i colleghi, tranne i quali nessuno \u00e8 venuto<\/em>. At B1 this restriction almost never bites in real sentences, but it is the kind of detail that explains why a teacher rejects a sentence that otherwise looks fine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"salvo-inf\">Salvo + infinitive: &#8220;only to&#8221;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One construction with <em>salvo<\/em> is not an &#8220;except&#8221; use at all, and learners often confuse it. <em>Salvo<\/em> (or <em>salvo poi<\/em>) before an infinitive means &#8220;only to&#8221; in the sense of an unexpected and often unwelcome turn of events: <em>una giovane coppia compra la casa dei sogni, salvo poi accorgersi che \u00e8 un incubo<\/em> = &#8220;a young couple buys their dream house, only to find out it&#8217;s a nightmare&#8221;. You meet it constantly in journalism.<\/p>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Ha promesso aiuto, salvo poi sparire al momento del bisogno.<br><em>He promised help, only to disappear when he was needed.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Hanno annunciato lo sciopero, salvo cancellarlo all&#8217;ultimo.<br><em>They announced the strike, only to cancel it at the last minute.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Rosita ha preso l&#8217;aereo per Milano, salvo tornare a Sassari il giorno dopo per un funerale.<br><em>Rosita took the plane to Milan, only to return to Sassari the next day for a funeral.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The trap is real: <em>salvo<\/em> + noun = &#8220;except&#8221; or &#8220;barring&#8221;; <em>salvo<\/em> + infinitive (especially with <em>poi<\/em>) = &#8220;only to&#8221;. Same word, two unrelated meanings. The other three members of the <strong>italian tranne eccetto<\/strong> family do not have this second life. <em>Tranne<\/em>, <em>eccetto<\/em>, and <em>fuorch\u00e9<\/em> never mean &#8220;only to&#8221;. If you see <em>salvo<\/em> followed by an infinitive in a news headline, read it as &#8220;only to&#8221;, not as a piece of the <strong>italian tranne eccetto<\/strong> &#8220;except&#8221; set.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"cheat-sheet\">Cheat sheet: which one to pick<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One table to keep open while you build the next <strong>italian tranne eccetto<\/strong> sentence.

Wrong: <em>tutti tranne io<\/em>. Correct: <em>tutti tranne me<\/em>.

questions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Six questions about the <strong>italian tranne eccetto<\/strong> family come up in every B1 cohort. The answers below draw on native usage of the <strong>italian tranne eccetto<\/strong> system and on the Treccani entry for exceptive constructions.<\/p>\n\n\n<div id=\"rank-math-faq\" class=\"rank-math-block\">\n<div class=\"rank-math-list \">\n<div id=\"faq-1\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">What is the difference between italian tranne and eccetto?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Tranne and eccetto mean the same thing, except. The difference is register. Tranne is neutral and works everywhere, spoken or written: vengono tutti tranne Marco. Eccetto sits a small notch higher, more common in writing, notices and articles: aperto eccetto i festivi. Native speakers swap them freely; in casual speech tranne wins by a wide margin, in formal writing eccetto holds its own. If unsure, default to tranne.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-2\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">Is italian fuorche old-fashioned?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Fuorche (with the acute accent on the final e) is not old-fashioned, but it is the rarest of the four exclusion words and carries a stylish, literary aftertaste. You hear it in essays, editorials, novels, and in set expressions like chiedimi tutto fuorche lavare i piatti or hanno giocato tutti fuorche me. Native speakers use it consciously, often for emphasis. It works perfectly in modern Italian, just less often than tranne.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-3\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">When does italian salvo mean except and when does it mean only to?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Salvo followed by a noun, pronoun or adverb means except or barring, often with a formal or unpredictable flavour: salvo imprevisti, salvo i festivi, salvo gli obblighi di legge. Salvo followed by an infinitive, especially with poi, means only to in the sense of an unexpected twist: hanno accettato, salvo poi cancellare il giorno dopo means they accepted, only to cancel the next day. Same word, two unrelated meanings. Read the next element to tell them apart.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-4\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">Do italian tranne and eccetto take che in front of the next word?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>All four words can take che after them, but only in specific cases. Bare form goes before a plain noun, pronoun, adverb or infinitive: vengono tutti tranne Cirino, chiedimi tutto fuorche lavare i piatti. The plus che form appears when the preposition that governed the whole expression has to be repeated: sono disposta a tutto tranne che a dormire fuori, ho parlato con tutti tranne che con il direttore. In doubt, follow the ear: if you have already used a preposition, repeat it together with che.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-5\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">Why is italian tranne cui ungrammatical?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Italian grammars list five prepositions that cannot be followed by the relative cui: tranne, eccetto, fuori, in vece di, di la da. In those rare contexts Italian uses il quale instead: i colleghi, tranne i quali nessuno e venuto. At B1 this restriction almost never bites in real sentences, but it explains why a teacher would correct an otherwise reasonable looking sentence. The four exclusion prepositions take the stressed object pronouns (me, te, lui, lei, noi, voi, loro) but not cui.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-6\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">Which exclusion word fits the most formal register?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Salvo is the most formal of the four and dominates legal language, contracts, public notices and constitutional texts. Article 16 of the Italian Constitution uses it: ogni cittadino e libero di uscire dal territorio della Repubblica e di rientrarvi, salvo gli obblighi di legge. Eccetto sits second on the formality ladder, common in written prose. Tranne is neutral and works everywhere. Fuorche is the most stylish, used by writers and speakers who want a touch of emphasis. If you are signing a contract or writing official prose, salvo is your word.<\/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\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Three guides that pair with the <strong>italian tranne eccetto<\/strong> family, plus an institutional reference on exceptive constructions for those who want to push the <strong>italian tranne eccetto<\/strong> material into the territory of subordinate clauses.<\/p>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/dante-learning.com\/eng\/italian-subordinating-conjunctions\/\">Italian Subordinating Conjunctions: 10 Types + Mood<\/a>: covers tranne che, eccetto che, salvo che, a meno che as exceptive conjunctions with the subjunctive.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/dante-learning.com\/eng\/italian-connettivi-connectors\/\">Italian Connettivi: Connectors by Function and Register<\/a>: the master hub by function, exclusion included.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/dante-learning.com\/eng\/italian-purche-patto-che\/\">Italian Purch\u00e9, A Patto Che: Subjunctive Conditions<\/a>: sister B2 guide on conditional conjunctions, a useful contrast to the exceptive family.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.treccani.it\/enciclopedia\/congiunzioni-eccettuative_(La-grammatica-italiana)\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Treccani: Congiunzioni eccettuative<\/a>: institutional entry on Italian exceptive constructions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Italian tranne, eccetto, fuorch\u00e9, salvo at B1: the four &#8220;except&#8221; prepositions sorted by register, with the salvo + infinitive trap, the pronoun rule, and a Sassari agriturismo dialogue.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":10020,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_bbp_topic_count":0,"_bbp_reply_count":0,"_bbp_total_topic_count":0,"_bbp_total_reply_count":0,"_bbp_voice_count":0,"_bbp_anonymous_reply_count":0,"_bbp_topic_count_hidden":0,"_bbp_reply_count_hidden":0,"_bbp_forum_subforum_count":0,"pmpro_default_level":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1865,7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-60842","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-b1","category-lingua","no-featured-image-padding","pmpro-has-access"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dante-learning.com\/eng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/60842","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dante-learning.com\/eng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dante-learning.com\/eng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dante-learning.com\/eng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/10020"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dante-learning.com\/eng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=60842"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/dante-learning.com\/eng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/60842\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":62164,"href":"https:\/\/dante-learning.com\/eng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/60842\/revisions\/62164"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dante-learning.com\/eng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=60842"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dante-learning.com\/eng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=60842"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dante-learning.com\/eng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=60842"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
