Lesson 2
Phrasing and Syntaxis
To build a sentence in italian means to think as simple as you can.
The rules of the general syntaxis explains that the Verb (V) is the main part of a phrase and can be considered a phrase on its own, since the fact that a single verb contains a complete information and can stand alone to represent a single "brick" of meaning.
Ex1: Mangio(V)/ I eat.
Linking together different" bricks" of phrases you can compose a sentence, which you can create using COORDINATIVE CONJUNCTIONS, such as: "e", "inoltre"(moreover), "eppure", "ma", "sia", "oppure", etc... and SUBORDINATIVE CONJUNCTIONS, such as "anche se", "sebbene", "poiche'", "perche'", "quando", "affinche'", "tanto quanto" etc.
Ex2 (Coordination)
Mario (S) e' andato (V) a scuola (O) e ha studiato (V2) tanto.
Mario went to the school and he studied too much.
Ex3 (Subordination)
Mario(S) non va (V) a scuola perche' oggi e'(V2) Domenica.
Mario doesn't go to school because today it's Sunday.
To make a clear and understandable sentence in italian, you must think and crete easy and simple thoughts, which usually follows the order:
Subject(S) + Verb(V)+ Object(O)-coordinative or subotdinative conjunction+ Verb2 (V2) [at least a verb]
In this way "building sentences" it's like playing with Lego and enable you to create a real masterpiece made of words; like a true exibition of art.
