Usage notes

  • Italians avoid expressing personal pronouns both in the written and spoken language, preferring to use just the inflected verb (an example would be: Am going for a walk, which is way more common than I am going for a walk; Is good-looking instead of She is good-looking). The explicit usage of personal pronouns may sound redundant to a native speaker, except when the purpose of the sentence is to specify the subject or the object (He is the one I was talking about).
  • The second-person pronoun in particular can sound confidential and, in some cases, even impolite.
