Do you know all the expressions associated with hair? Marika explains some and gives us plenty of examples. Keep in mind that in Italian, i capelli is the plural, and hair is countable.

Italian, like English, uses body parts in lots of expressions. Marika gives us some examples of expressions using the word capello or its plural capelli. Let's keep in mind that in English "hair" isn't usually countable, but in Italian it is!

Marika explains what partitive articles are all about and gives us some helpful examples.

Articoli partitivi, or partitive articles look like articoli articolati because they are formed with a preposition plus an article. But their function is different. Most of the time they are a way to say “some.” This lesson is about how to form them, and in future lessons, we will learn how to use them.

We look at a few more prepositions and see the contexts in which they are used.

We continue with simple prepositions, starting off with da (from). But da can also mean "to" or "at," so you won't want to miss this. Marika also explains when to use in or a regarding cities, countries, etc.

This video lesson is about simple prepositions, especially di (of, from, about) and a (to, at).
