Start here: build sentences (word order + core patterns)

Learn the default word order and memorize a handful of high‑frequency sentence patterns.

Default word order

Italian is usually SVO. Subject pronouns are often omitted because the verb ending shows the subject.

  • Start with short sentences and keep the pattern consistent.
  • Copy a native pattern, then swap one word at a time.

Core sentences to memorize

These are extremely reusable. Read them aloud, then change one word (water → coffee, bathroom → station…).

Sono qui.
I am here.
Vorrei dell'acqua.
I would like some water.
Non capisco.
I don't understand.
Parli inglese?
Do you speak English? (informal)
Dov'è il bagno?
Where is the bathroom?
Questo è il mio amico.
This is my friend.
