Interesting about the Italian language.
History, facts, modernity.
Let's start with a few words about the modern status of the language; it is obvious that Italian is the official language in Italy, the Vatican (simultaneously with Latin), in San Marino, but also in Switzerland (in its Italian part, the canton of Ticino) and in Several districts in Croatia and Slovenia, where a large Italian-speaking population lives, Italian is also spoken by some of the residents on the island of Malta.
Italian dialects - will we understand each other?
In Italy itself, even today you can hear many dialects, sometimes it is enough to travel only a few tens of kilometers to encounter another of them.Moreover, dialects are often so different from each other that they can seem like completely different languages. If people from, for example, the northern and central Italian “outback” meet, they may not even be able to understand each other.
What is especially interesting is that some dialects, in addition to the oral form, also have a written form, such as the Neopolitan, Venetian, Milanese and Sicilian dialects.
The latter exists, accordingly, on the island of Sicily and is so different from other dialects that some researchers distinguish it as a separate Sardinian language.
However, in everyday communication and, especially, in large cities, you are unlikely to experience any inconvenience, because... Today, dialects are spoken mainly by older people in rural areas, while young people use the correct literary language, which unites all Italians, the language of radio and, of course, television.
It may be mentioned here that until the end of the Second World War, modern Italian was only a written language, used by the ruling class, scientists and in administrative institutions, and it was television that played a big role in the spread of the common Italian language among all inhabitants.
How it all began, origins
The history of the formation of modern Italian, as we all know it, is closely connected with the history of Italy and, of course, no less fascinating.Origins - in Ancient Rome, everything was in the Roman language, commonly known as Latin, which at that time was the official state language of the Roman Empire. Later, from Latin, in fact, the Italian language and many other European languages arose.
Therefore, knowing Latin, you can understand what a Spaniard is saying, plus or minus a Portuguese, and you can even understand part of the speech of an Englishman or a Frenchman.
In 476, the last Roman emperor, Romulus Augustulus, abdicated the throne after the capture of Rome by the German leader Odocar, this date is considered the end of the Great Roman Empire.
Some also call it the end of the “Roman language”, however, even today disputes still rage as to why exactly the Latin language lost its relevance, because of the capture of the Roman Empire by barbarians or was it a natural process and in what language? spoken towards the end of the Roman Empire.
According to one version, in ancient Rome by this time, along with Latin, the spoken language was already widespread, and it is from this popular language of Rome that the Italian that we know as Italian of the 16th century comes from, according to the second version, in connection with the invasion of the barbarians Latin mixed with various barbarian languages and dialects, and it is from this synthesis that the Italian language originates.
Birthday - first mention
The year 960 is considered the birthday of the Italian language. This date is associated with the first document where this “proto-vernacular language” is present - vulgare, these are court papers related to the land litigation of the Benedictine Abbey, witnesses used this particular version of the language so that the testimony would be understandable to as many people as possible, until this moment in all official papers we can only see Latin.And then there was a gradual spread in the ubiquitous life of the language vulgare, which translates as the people's language, which became the prototype of the modern Italian language.
However, the story does not end there, but only becomes more interesting and the next stage is associated with the Renaissance and with such well-known names as Dante Alighiere, F. Petrarch, G. Boccaccio and others.

The verb stare is one of the main verbs of the Italian language.
A lot can be expressed with this verb. It will help us indicate our or someone else’s location, describe the position of the body (lying, standing, sitting...) the state of mind and health, finally.
This verb is very often used instead of the verb essere, and can be translated as “ be – be in some place, in some state.”
The verb stare is an irregular verb and is not conjugated according to the rules. You need to remember its conjugation:
| stare | |
|---|---|
| Io | sto |
| Tu | stai |
| Lei / lei, Lui | sta |
| Noi | stiamo |
| Voi | state |
| Loro | stanno |
In what situations is this verb used?
When we want to characterize the position of the body:
stare in piedi – to be on your feet
stare sdraiato – be in a lying position
Describe the behavior:
stare zitto – to remain silent
stare attento – be in attention
To express a state of mind:
stare in ansia – be excited
stare in armonia – be in harmony
When we want to describe the state of health:
stare bene – be in good health
stare male – be in poor health
To express an order, call, advice:
Stay seduto! - Sit!
State comodi! - Make yourself comfortable!
Stay zitto! - Shut up!
To indicate a specific location of an object or person:
Le calze stanno nell "armadio. – The stockings are in the closet.
How does the verb stare differ from the verb essere?
Let's look at examples:
Le forbici sono nel secondo cassetto vicino al lavello.
Here we use the verb essere. Using this verb, we indicate the location of the scissors at the moment. But it is not at all necessary that this is their usual location.
Le forbici stanno nel secondo casseto vicino al lavello.
Here we use the verb stare. Now we are talking about the usual location of the scissors - they lie in their place.
The same thing happens when we talk about a person:
Sei in albergo. – You are in a hotel (at this particular moment you are there and will not stay long).
Stay in albergo. – You are in a hotel (stayed at a hotel and will stay there for a certain period of time).
Let's look at some special constructions with the verbs stare that you will often encounter.
stare + infinito
This construction helps us indicate readiness for some action.
For example:
Stiamo per uscire. – We're about to go out.
Sto per dormire. – I am going to bed.
Pino sta per partire. – Pino is about to leave.
stare + gerundio
This construction is used when we talk about an action that is happening at the moment.
For example:
Adesso sto lavorando. – I am working now.
Loro stanno dormendo. - They are sleeping now.
starci
This form deserves attention, since it is very common in colloquial speech.
Starci translates as " be in agreement with something, participate in something".
For example:
Chi vuole andare a prendere una birra al bar? Io ci sto. – Who wants to go have a beer at a bar? I agree (I'll go).
You can read more about the particle ci in the topic Pronominal verbs.
Set expressions with this verb:
The verb dare is another irregular verb to pay attention to.
Its conjugation also needs to be remembered:
| dare | |
|---|---|
| Io | do |
| Tu | dai |
| Lei / lei, Lui | dà |
| Noi | diamo |
| Voi | date |
| Loro | danno |
Please note that in the third person singular. Among the verbs, the vowel is stressed. This is done so as not to confuse the verb of this form with the preposition da.
Set expressions with the verb dare:
| dare and pensare | give food for thought |
| dare alla testa | hit you in the head (champagne hit you in the head, sunstroke) |
| dare nell"occhio | catch your eye |
| dare carta bianca a qualquno | –we say “give the green light” |
| dare per scontato | make a discount on something, underestimate something |
| dare spiegazioni | give explanations |
| dare una punizione | impose punishment |
| dare consigli | give advice |
| dare inizio | start something |
| dare sui nerve | get on your nerves |
| dare fuoco | set fire to |
| dare la mano | lend a helping hand (help) |
There are fixed expressions with reflexive verbs.
It is impossible to understand what Italians are talking about without parts of speech that mean action. The verb stare in Italian in this sense also plays its own special role. Particularly in the southern part of Italy (sometimes in some others) it even replaces the fundamental essere (“to be”). In addition to the fact that it belongs to the group of irregular ones, many phrases and expressions, including stable ones, are constructed with its help. There are several most common translation meanings of the verb stare - to remain; stop; be; live; feel; fit in; relate.
If you add the particle si to it, it will give the word more expressiveness, while adding ne - the absence of action, calmness. Let's say Starsene ozioso - meaning to sit idle, the literal translation is to be idle. In addition, the verb stare in Italian also changes its meaning depending on the preposition. For example, stare a qualcosa (translated as rely on, adhere to something;), or stare su qualcosa - give importance to something, listen. There are also forms stare a qualcuno (appropriate, proper), stare con qualcuno (to be with someone, to agree), etc.
In other words, if you change or incline a word in this way, you can indicate the location, position of the body (lying, standing), your state (of body or soul).
Conjugation of the verb stare in Italian
The conjugation of the verb stare in Italian is special, as with a number of other parts of speech, you just have to memorize the basic rules. So, depending on the pronoun present, the phrases will be constructed as follows:
- io (I) + sto = I am, I feel;
- lui (he)/lei (she)/Lei (you) + sta = he/she is, stands, feels, etc.
When talking about negating something, the conjugation of the verb stare takes into account the presence of the particle “non”, which comes before the word: loro + non stanno = they are not, feel, stand (and so on for all pronouns). A specific example is Non sto a casa - I'm not at home. If you need to formulate a question, you need to add the appropriate intonation. Also quite common is the construction “stare per with an infinitive. It denotes an intention, an action that has not yet begun, but is about to happen.
