Scusate per i pochi video pubblicato la settimana scorsa. Ho avuto problemi di internet e non sono riuscito a caricare molti video! Ecco finalmente il video numero 5 della serie sugli errori più comuni commessi in italiano dagli studenti di lingua inglese. \n\nApologies for the very few videos published last week. I had problems with my internet connection and I wasn't able to upload that many videos. Finally here is video 5 of the series on the the most common mistakes made in Italian by English speakers!

GRAZIE Mille, Manu! Perfect timing for this video! I have spent hours conjugating verbs over the past 3 days. I filled a whole notebook! Many verbs are unclear... I still can't understand the difference between VIVERE and ABITARE, but I conjugate and learn them and wait for your wonderfully clear explanations! I missed you last week...was starting to worry. A Dopo!

Hi Manu, I am so glad I found you - I love your lessons. Is it possible, that you are showing the declination of potere under the shown verb sapere? (2:45 min)

Ciao! So I finally decided to learn Italian seriously as it is so close to my second language, Spanish--which I am now studying in college-- and I am trying to read Dante's Inferno in Italian, so I decided to pick the language up again! Anyway, I have two college Italian textbooks, and neither explains the difference between potere, riuscire, and sapere the way you and several videos have explained these verbs. Why is this? If this is so standard, shouldn't college textbooks explain this in detail? Is there a chance this a regional use of potere? In Spainish and French we simply use poder/pouvoir for 'can', so I can see why potere would be the verb choice in Italian. Mille grazie!

It‘s like in german: people tend to say ”Kann ich die Toilette benutzen?” but they should say ”Darf ich die Toilette benutzen?“

Hello Manu, this was a very informative video. I always heard sapere compared to conoscere but never potere to sapere. Thanks again for a great teaching. Arturo.
