Verbs of opinion and perception, called <em>verbi estimativi<\/em> by Italian grammarians (<em>credere, ritenere, considerare, giudicare, trovare, reputare, stimare<\/em>), can take a direct object plus an adjective that describes that object: <em>Lo credevo innocente<\/em>, <em>La considero brava<\/em>, <em>Lo trovo simpatico<\/em>. The adjective agrees in gender and number with the object, just as it would in any Italian noun phrase. This italian credere considerare adjective construction is the natural alternative to the longer <em>credo che sia innocente<\/em> with <em>che<\/em> + subjunctive, and Italians switch to it constantly in journalism, courtrooms, conversation, and reviews.

The adjective describes the object, not the subject. <em>Lo credevo innocente<\/em> means &#8220;I thought him innocent&#8221;. <em>La considero brava<\/em> means &#8220;I consider her good (at something)&#8221;. <em>Lo trovo simpatico<\/em> means &#8220;I find him likeable&#8221;. No <em>che<\/em>, no full subordinate clause, no subjunctive: just three pieces lined up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The italian credere considerare adjective structure is everywhere in Italian writing and speech. A judge announces <em>la giuria lo ha ritenuto colpevole<\/em>. A friend says <em>la trovo affidabile<\/em>. A wine merchant explains <em>considero questo Sassella il migliore della zona<\/em>. The construction is so natural that Italians often choose it over the wordier <em>credo che sia innocente<\/em> simply because it is shorter and cleaner. Italian institutional sources such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.treccani.it\/vocabolario\/considerare\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Treccani&#8217;s vocabolario entry on considerare<\/a> describe it under the label <em>complemento predicativo dell&#8217;oggetto<\/em>, which simply means &#8220;a noun or adjective that completes the meaning of the verb and refers to the direct object&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"estimativi\">Italian credere considerare adjective: verbi estimativi family<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not every Italian verb can take this italian credere considerare adjective structure. The verbs that do belong to a coherent group: opinion, judgement, perception, naming. Italian tradition groups the core ones under the label <em>verbi estimativi<\/em>, literally &#8220;verbs of estimation&#8221;. They share the same logic: the speaker forms a mental verdict about something, and the adjective expresses that verdict.<\/p>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>credere<\/strong> (to believe): Lo credevo innocente. <em>I thought him innocent.<\/em><\/li>\n<li><strong>ritenere<\/strong> (to hold, to deem): La ritengo affidabile. <em>I deem her reliable.<\/em><\/li>\n<li><strong>considerare<\/strong> (to consider): Lo considero il migliore. <em>I consider him the best.<\/em><\/li>\n<li><strong>giudicare<\/strong> (to judge): Lo giudico essenziale. <em>I judge it essential.<\/em><\/li>\n<li><strong>trovare<\/strong> (to find): Lo trovo simpatico. <em>I find him likeable.<\/em><\/li>\n<li><strong>reputare<\/strong> (to reckon, more formal): Reputo necessaria una verifica. <em>I reckon a check is necessary.<\/em><\/li>\n<li><strong>stimare<\/strong> (to esteem, to estimate): Lo stimo onesto. <em>I esteem him honest.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Verbs of perception used in a similar copular way also join in: <em>sentire<\/em>, <em>vedere<\/em>, <em>scoprire<\/em>. <em>Ti sento stanco<\/em> (I hear that you sound tired). <em>La vedo serena<\/em> (I see her at peace). <em>Lo scopro pi\u00f9 maturo di prima<\/em> (I discover him more mature than before). The italian credere considerare adjective construction stretches naturally into these neighbouring verbs whenever the speaker projects a quality onto the object.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"agreement\">Italian credere considerare adjective agreement rules<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The key technical point is agreement. The adjective agrees in gender and number with the direct object, not with the subject. This is the same rule that governs any Italian adjective attached to a noun, only here the noun is the object of the verb rather than the subject of the sentence. Watch how the ending changes:<\/p>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Masculine singular<\/strong>: Lo credevo innocent<u>e<\/u>. Lo trovo simpatic<u>o<\/u>. Lo considero brav<u>o<\/u>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Feminine singular<\/strong>: La credevo innocent<u>e<\/u>. La trovo simpatic<u>a<\/u>. La considero brav<u>a<\/u>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Masculine plural<\/strong>: Li credevo innocent<u>i<\/u>. Li trovo simpatic<u>i<\/u>. Li considero brav<u>i<\/u>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Feminine plural<\/strong>: Le credevo innocent<u>i<\/u>. Le trovo simpatich<u>e<\/u>. Le considero brav<u>e<\/u>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Adjectives ending in <em>-o<\/em> have four forms (<em>bravo, brava, bravi, brave<\/em>). Adjectives ending in <em>-e<\/em> have only two (<em>innocente, innocenti<\/em>), so masculine and feminine singular look identical, and the same for the plural. The italian credere considerare adjective rule is the same as the standard adjective rule from beginner Italian: the form follows the noun it describes. Once you spot the direct-object pronoun (<em>lo, la, li, le<\/em>) or the noun, you pick the ending automatically.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-task-cca-1\"><div class=\"gb-inside-container\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83c\udfaf <strong>Mini-task:<\/strong> fix the adjective ending so it agrees with the underlined object.<\/p>\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>L<u>a<\/u> trovo molto (intelligente \/ intelligenti \/ intelligenta).<\/li>\n<li>L<u>i<\/u> considero (bravo \/ brave \/ bravi) nel loro lavoro.<\/li>\n<li>L<u>e<\/u> credevo gi\u00e0 (partito \/ partite \/ partita) per Sondrio.<\/li>\n<li>Lo ritengo (affidabile \/ affidabili \/ affidabilo) sul tema.<\/li>\n<li>Considero <u>questa proposta<\/u> (essenziale \/ essenziali \/ essenzialo).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n<details><summary>\ud83d\udc49 <strong>Show answers<\/strong><\/summary>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>1.

Le credevo gi\u00e0 <strong>partite<\/strong> (feminine plural, past participle of essere-verb)<\/p>\n<p>4. Lo ritengo <strong>affidabile<\/strong> (singular, -e ending)<\/p>\n<p>5. Considero questa proposta <strong>essenziale<\/strong> (singular noun, -e adjective)<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"vs-che\">Italian credere considerare adjective vs full che-clause<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Both sentences mean the same thing, but the italian credere considerare adjective version is more economical and slightly more elegant. <em>Credevo che fosse innocente<\/em> is a full subordinate clause with <em>che<\/em> plus the imperfect subjunctive. <em>Lo credevo innocente<\/em> compresses the same thought into four words, with the pronoun <em>lo<\/em> doing the work of &#8220;him&#8221; and &#8220;that he was&#8221; at once. The two structures coexist, and Italians switch between them freely. The shorter version dominates in journalism, in courtroom language, in book reviews, in everyday opinions.<\/p>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Full clause<\/strong>: Credevo che Maurizio fosse innocente fino alla sentenza.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Compact<\/strong>: Credevo Maurizio innocente fino alla sentenza.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Full clause<\/strong>: Considero che questa relazione sia eccellente. (rare, slightly awkward)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Compact<\/strong>: Considero questa relazione eccellente. (natural, preferred)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Full clause<\/strong>: La giuria ha ritenuto che l&#8217;imputato fosse colpevole.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Compact<\/strong>: La giuria ha ritenuto l&#8217;imputato colpevole.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A quick rule of thumb: if the underlying meaning is &#8220;X is Y&#8221; (a quality stably attached to X), the compact construction is the natural choice. If you want to express a fuller event with tense, mode, or aspect (&#8220;X had already gone home&#8221;, &#8220;X will likely arrive late&#8221;), you need the full subordinate clause with <em>che<\/em> and a finite verb. The italian credere considerare adjective pattern is meant for verdicts and qualities, not for narration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"trovare\">Trovare: the everyday italian credere considerare adjective workhorse<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Among the <em>verbi estimativi<\/em>, <em>trovare<\/em> is the one you will hear most often in spoken Italian. It covers the English &#8220;I find X Y&#8221; almost perfectly: <em>lo trovo simpatico, la trovo intelligente, li trovo noiosi, le trovo affascinanti<\/em>. The verb stays in the present indicative most of the time, because opinions about people and things tend to be expressed as current views.<\/p>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>La trovo sempre puntuale, anche con la neve in Valtellina.<\/li>\n<li>Trovo questa relazione molto convincente, supportata da dati seri.<\/li>\n<li>Li ho trovati molto preparati durante il colloquio.<\/li>\n<li>Trovo il tuo argomento convincente, ma servono dati.<\/li>\n<li>La mia vicina trova insopportabile il rumore dei lavori in cortile.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Notice how <em>trovare<\/em> in this italian credere considerare adjective sense is different from <em>trovare<\/em> meaning &#8220;to locate&#8221;. <em>Trovo il libro sul tavolo<\/em> means &#8220;I find the book on the table&#8221; (physical location). <em>Trovo il libro noioso<\/em> means &#8220;I find the book boring&#8221; (judgement). Italian uses the same verb for both, and the context plus the presence of an adjective make the difference obvious. With a place phrase, it is location; with an adjective or quality noun, it is opinion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"considerare\">Considerare and ritenere: italian credere considerare adjective in formal register<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If <em>trovare<\/em> is the everyday workhorse, <em>considerare<\/em> and <em>ritenere<\/em> are the more formal cousins, common in newspapers, essays, and professional contexts. They imply a more deliberate, reasoned judgement. A journalist writes <em>il direttore considera la proposta inadeguata<\/em>. A lawyer says <em>riteniamo il nostro assistito completamente estraneo ai fatti<\/em>. The structure is identical to the italian credere considerare adjective pattern with <em>trovare<\/em>, but the register climbs a notch.<\/p>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Considero questa scoperta una svolta per la ricerca alpina.<\/li>\n<li>La redazione ritiene urgente la pubblicazione dell&#8217;articolo.<\/li>\n<li>Gli esperti considerano la frana del versante nord particolarmente pericolosa.<\/li>\n<li>Riteniamo necessaria una seconda riunione prima di andare in stampa.<\/li>\n<li>Il sindaco considera fondamentale il dialogo con i cittadini di Sondrio.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A useful note on form within the italian credere considerare adjective family: <em>considerare<\/em> and <em>ritenere<\/em> can also take <em>come<\/em> + adjective or noun in slightly more formal style: <em>la considero come una sorella<\/em>, <em>lo ritengono come il responsabile<\/em>. The <em>come<\/em> is optional and adds a flavour of &#8220;as if&#8221;. Without <em>come<\/em>, the sentence sounds more direct and is more common in print. Both versions are correct; pick the one that fits the register.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"past-participle\">The past participle italian credere considerare adjective variant<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An elegant cousin of the italian credere considerare adjective structure uses a past participle instead of an adjective. <em>Ti credevo gi\u00e0 partita<\/em> means &#8220;I thought you&#8217;d already left&#8221;. The participle <em>partita<\/em> agrees with the object pronoun <em>ti<\/em> (referring to a feminine person). This is the same construction Italian grammars file under the same heading as <em>credo Maurizio innocente<\/em>, because a past participle is grammatically an adjective.<\/p>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Ti credevo gi\u00e0 partita per Milano. <em>I thought you&#8217;d already left for Milan.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Lo sapevo entrato prima di me, ma non lo vedevo da nessuna parte.<\/li>\n<li>Vi credevamo arrivati ore fa, perch\u00e9 non avete chiamato?<\/li>\n<li>La voleva morta in un incidente, secondo una vecchia leggenda valtellinese.<\/li>\n<li>Lo davano per disperso sui giornali, poi \u00e8 tornato sano e salvo.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The past participle version is possible only when the underlying verb takes <em>essere<\/em> in compound tenses (verbs of motion, change of state, reflexives). You can say <em>ti credevo partita<\/em> because <em>partire<\/em> takes <em>essere<\/em> (<em>sono partita<\/em>). You cannot say <em>ti credevo mangiata<\/em> as a contraction of <em>credevo che tu avessi mangiato<\/em>, because <em>mangiare<\/em> takes <em>avere<\/em>. For <em>avere<\/em> verbs, you must keep the full clause with <em>che<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"noun-too\">Italian credere considerare adjective with nouns instead<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The italian credere considerare adjective slot can also be filled by a noun phrase. <em>Considero Toscanini il migliore direttore d&#8217;orchestra della sua generazione<\/em>. <em>Lo giudico un imbroglione<\/em>. <em>La ritengo una professionista seria<\/em>. <em>Trovo questa giornata un disastro<\/em>. The grammar treats nouns and adjectives the same way in this position: they are both <em>complementi predicativi dell&#8217;oggetto<\/em>, meaning they tell us something about what the object is, or how the speaker labels the object.<\/p>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Lo considero un amico fidato, lo conosco da vent&#8217;anni.<\/li>\n<li>La giuria lo ha dichiarato il vincitore del premio letterario.<\/li>\n<li>Trovo questo articolo una vera scoperta per i lettori valtellinesi.<\/li>\n<li>Reputano Olivia una delle migliori giornaliste della provincia.<\/li>\n<li>Lo stimo un esperto del settore vitivinicolo locale.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With nouns, the same agreement logic applies: a feminine object takes a feminine noun (<em>la considero una professionista<\/em>), a plural object takes a plural noun (<em>li considero amici fidati<\/em>). The noun can be preceded by an indefinite article (<em>un, una<\/em>), a definite article (<em>il, la<\/em>), or stand bare, depending on the meaning. <em>Lo considero il migliore<\/em> picks out a unique top spot. <em>Lo considero un buon esempio<\/em> places him in a category.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"traps\">Italian credere considerare adjective: four traps for English speakers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The italian credere considerare adjective construction is intuitive once you see it, but four mistakes are common for English speakers in the early stages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"trap-1\">Trap 1: forgetting to make the adjective agree<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">English adjectives never change form: &#8220;I find her intelligent&#8221;, &#8220;I find them intelligent&#8221;, &#8220;I find him intelligent&#8221;. In Italian the ending must shift: <em>la trovo intelligente<\/em>, <em>li trovo intelligenti<\/em>, <em>lo trovo intelligente<\/em>. Stop and think about gender and number before pronouncing the adjective. With <em>-o<\/em> adjectives the four forms (<em>bravo, brava, bravi, brave<\/em>) need careful attention. With <em>-e<\/em> adjectives the load is lighter, because singular forms are identical regardless of gender.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"trap-2\">Trap 2: inserting &#8220;as&#8221; or &#8220;to be&#8221; mechanically from English<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">English often says &#8220;I consider him to be a good friend&#8221; or &#8220;I consider him as a good friend&#8221;. Direct translations like <em>lo considero essere un buon amico<\/em> or <em>lo considero come un buon amico<\/em> are not wrong, but they sound heavier than necessary. The natural Italian is simply <em>lo considero un buon amico<\/em>. Drop the <em>essere<\/em>. The <em>come<\/em> is optional and adds a hint of &#8220;as if&#8221;; leave it out unless you really mean &#8220;as if&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"trap-3\">Trap 3: confusing the pattern with credere a \/ credere in<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The verb <em>credere<\/em> has three distinct constructions, and beginners mix them up. <em>Credere a<\/em> + something means &#8220;to believe something is true&#8221;: <em>non credo a questa storia<\/em>. <em>Credere in<\/em> + something means &#8220;to have faith in&#8221;: <em>credo in te, credo in Dio<\/em>. <em>Credere<\/em> + direct object + adjective is our italian credere considerare adjective pattern: <em>lo credevo innocente<\/em>. Same verb, three different patterns, three different meanings. Keep them separate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"trap-4\">Trap 4: trying to express tense or event with the compact structure<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The italian credere considerare adjective compact form expresses a quality attached to the object, not a full event. If you want to say &#8220;I think he will arrive late&#8221;, you cannot collapse the future tense into an adjective. You must use the full subordinate clause: <em>credo che arriver\u00e0 tardi<\/em>. The compact form works only when the underlying meaning is &#8220;X is Y&#8221; (a quality) or, with past participle, &#8220;X has done Y&#8221; (state from a completed action). For anything richer, use <em>che<\/em> and a finite verb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"cheat-sheet\">Italian credere considerare adjective cheat sheet<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Use this cheat sheet to recognise and produce the italian credere considerare adjective construction in real time.

class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These questions about italian credere considerare adjective come from real conversations among Italian learners online. The grammar is documented in Italian institutional sources such as the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.treccani.it\/vocabolario\/ritenere\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Treccani vocabolario entry on ritenere<\/a> and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.treccani.it\/vocabolario\/trovare\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">entry on trovare<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n<div id=\"rank-math-faq\" class=\"rank-math-block\">\n<div class=\"rank-math-list \">\n<div id=\"faq-cca-q1\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">What is the difference between Lo credevo innocente and Credevo che fosse innocente?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>They mean the same thing, but the first is shorter and more elegant. Lo credevo innocente uses the compact construction: verb of opinion (credevo) plus direct object pronoun (lo) plus adjective (innocente). Credevo che fosse innocente uses the full subordinate clause with che plus the imperfect subjunctive. Italians switch between the two freely. The compact form dominates in journalism, courtroom language, and quick opinions; the full form is used when you want to express something more elaborate than a simple quality, like a full event with tense and aspect.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-cca-q2\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">Does the adjective agree with the object pronoun?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Yes, always. The adjective takes the gender and number of the object. Lo credevo innocente (masculine singular). La credevo innocente (feminine singular). Li credevo innocenti (masculine plural). Le credevo innocenti (feminine plural). With -o adjectives like bravo, you have four distinct forms: bravo, brava, bravi, brave. With -e adjectives like intelligente, you have only two forms: intelligente for singular, intelligenti for plural, regardless of gender. The rule is identical to standard noun-adjective agreement in Italian.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-cca-q3\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">Which Italian verbs can take this construction?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>The core group is the verbi estimativi: credere, ritenere, considerare, giudicare, trovare, reputare, stimare. Verbs of perception used in a similar way also work: sentire, vedere, scoprire (Ti sento stanco, La vedo serena, Lo scopro maturo). The construction extends to naming verbs in some contexts too, like chiamare and dichiarare (lo hanno chiamato traditore, lo hanno dichiarato vincitore). The shared feature is that the verb expresses how the speaker labels or perceives the object, not a physical action done to it.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-cca-q4\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">Can I use this construction with a past participle, like Ti credevo partita?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Yes, but only when the underlying verb takes essere in compound tenses. Ti credevo partita works because partire takes essere (sono partita). The same applies to Lo sapevo entrato, Vi credevamo arrivati, Le davano per disperse. For verbs that take avere in compound tenses (mangiare, parlare, vedere), the past participle version is not possible: you cannot say ti credevo mangiata as a shortcut for credevo che tu avessi mangiato. In that case you must keep the full clause with che.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-cca-q5\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">Is Lo trovo simpatico the same construction as Lo credevo innocente?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Yes. Trovare in the sense of finding-by-judgement (not finding-by-locating) is part of the verbi estimativi family. Lo trovo simpatico, la trovo intelligente, li trovo noiosi, le trovo affascinanti all follow the same pattern: verb of opinion plus object plus adjective. Notice that the adjective agrees with the object: simpatico for masculine singular, simpatica for feminine singular, simpatici and simpatiche for the plurals. Trovare is the most common verb of this group in everyday spoken Italian, while considerare and ritenere lean more formal.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-cca-q6\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">Can I use a noun instead of an adjective in this construction?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Yes. The slot after the object can hold a noun phrase: Lo considero un amico fidato, La ritengo una professionista seria, Trovo questa giornata un disastro, Lo giudico un imbroglione. The noun can take an indefinite article (un, una) to place the object in a category, or a definite article (il, la) to pick out a unique role: Lo considero il migliore, Lo considero un buon esempio. The agreement logic is the same as with adjectives: gender and number must match the object. Italian grammar treats nouns and adjectives in this position uniformly as complementi predicativi dell&#8217;oggetto.<\/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-present-subjunctive\/\">Italian Present Subjunctive: Forms, Triggers, Same-Subject Trap (B1)<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/dante-learning.com\/eng\/italian-indirect-speech\/\">Italian Indirect Speech: Tense Shift, Deixis, Reporting (B2)<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/dante-learning.com\/eng\/italian-past-participle\/\">Italian Past Participle: Forms, Agreement, Clausal Uses<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.treccani.it\/vocabolario\/considerare\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Treccani vocabolario: considerare<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Italian credere considerare adjective: Italian Lo credevo innocente: the B2 compact construction with credere, considerare, ritenere, trovare plus object plus adjectiv&#8230;<\/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":[1866,7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-60906","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-b2","category-lingua","no-featured-image-padding","pmpro-has-access"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dante-learning.com\/eng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/60906","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=60906"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/dante-learning.com\/eng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/60906\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":62140,"href":"https:\/\/dante-learning.com\/eng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/60906\/revisions\/62140"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dante-learning.com\/eng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=60906"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dante-learning.com\/eng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=60906"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dante-learning.com\/eng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=60906"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
