Punto di partenza
The verbs dire (to say; to tell), uscire (to go out; to leave),
and venire (to come) are irregular.

•
Most forms of dire use the stem of the original Latin
infinitive dicere.
Diciamo «Ciao» al professore
tutte le mattine.
We say “Ciao” to the professor
every morning.

L’insegnante dice che devo
stampare i compiti.
The teacher says I have to
print out the homework.

•
Dire expresses to say or to tell. Do not
confuse it with parlare (to speak), which you
learned in Lezione 2A.

What are you telling Stefania?

Da quanto tempo esce
con Davide?
How long has she been going
out with Davide?
4A.2-4
•
Use uscire for the English to leave only in the sense of
to go out of. To express to depart, use partire, which
you learned in Lezione 3A.
Stasera mio fratello non
esce di casa.
My brother is not leaving the
house tonight.

l’Italia domani.

Italy tomorrow.
4A.2-5
•
The verb riuscire (to succeed; to manage) follows
the same pattern of conjugation as uscire. Use
riuscire a + [infinitive] in two-verb constructions.

Disjunctive pronouns
Disjunctive pronouns (Pronomi tonici) are the pronoun forms
used after prepositions (see Lezione 3A). Note that the third
person forms use different words to refer to one and oneself.
Davide esce con lei.
Davide is going out with her.

Diciamo «Arrivederci» a Lei?
Do we say “Arrivederci” to you?
4A.2-8
•
Some prepositions add di before a disjunctive pronoun,
including dopo (after), prima (before), senza (without),
su (on), and sotto (under). Secondo (According to) is
used alone.
Uscite senza di noi?
Are you going out without us?

Secondo voi, è facile la classe?
According to you, is the class easy?
4A.2-9
•
Da is often used before a disjunctive pronoun to mean
by oneself. In this case, use sé for the third-person
forms. Remember, da can also indicate at a person’s
home or workplace.

It installs the program by itself.
