Simple Prepositions
Italian simple prepositions are short words used to connect different parts of a sentence. The most common simple prepositions are:
- di (of, from)
- a (to, at)
- da (from, by)
- in (in, into)
- con (with)
- su (on, upon)
- per (for, through)
- tra/fra (between, among)
These prepositions are used in various contexts, such as indicating possession, location, or direction.
Articulated Prepositions
Articulated prepositions are formed by combining simple prepositions with definite articles. The most common combinations are:
di + il/lo/la/i/gli/le
- del, dello, della, dei, degli, delle
a + il/lo/la/i/gli/le
- al, allo, alla, ai, agli, alle
da + il/lo/la/i/gli/le
- dal, dallo, dalla, dai, dagli, dalle
in + il/lo/la/i/gli/le
- nel, nello, nella, nei, negli, nelle
su + il/lo/la/i/gli/le
- sul, sullo, sulla, sui, sugli, sulle
Articulated prepositions are used when the noun following the preposition is preceded by a definite article. They help maintain flow and clarity in Italian sentences.
