Le piccole parole - Episodio 7 - Parte 1A | La preposizione SU - Superficie, argomento e approssimazione

Send me a voicemail One little word, three very different jobs. In this episode of Le piccole parole, we explore three important uses of the Italian preposition SU. We start with the familiar idea of something being on a surface, then see how SU introduces a topic, and finally discover how Italians use it to express an approximation. You'll hear examples like sul tavolo, un libro su Dante, and sui trenta euro, and we'll look at how SU combines with Italian definite articles to become sul, sullo, sulla, sull', sui, sugli, and sulle. And before we finish, there's still a question waiting for us at the banco delle riparazioni: che ne sarà delle ricette? --> Link to Post for Transcript for this episode <-- ⏳ CHAPTERS 0:00 Introduction 2:09 SU for surface 4:41 SU for topic 7:16 SU for approximation 11:41 Wrap-up - Part 1A Support the show I’d love to hear your thoughts on Impariamo l’italiano piano piano!
