In this part of the lesson about subordinate clauses, Daniela talks about analogies or hypothetical situations. The English equivalent would be when we say, "as if..."

Marika shows us how to view a Yabla video in 3 different ways: standard, theater, and full screen.

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

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.

Permeating the song are images of a Sicilian beach in the hot summer and the waves that could carry you out to sea.

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

After looking at simple prepositions, Marika talks about a special kind of preposition called una preposizione articolata. It just means that the preposition has a definite article attached to it. In this segment, she covers the ways the preposition di (of) combines with different articles to become a new complex preposition. For example, di + il = del.

We look at the preposition a combined with different definite articles. This preposizione articolata is used, for example, in talking about the time: alle otto (at eight o'clock); about a manner or style: alla francese (French-style), al dente (not too cooked).

In this video, the preposition we combine with a definite article is da. It can mean "from," but also "to" and "at." So, combined with the different definite articles, it's going to mean "from the," "to the," or "at the."

Dafne and her father are waiting for her mother. When Dafne goes looking for her mother, she gets an ugly surprise.

We look at the preposition in [in, to, at] and how it combines with the various definite articles.

Marika concentrates on the preposition su [on] in combination with various articles to form the very useful sul, sui, sugli, sulla, sulle and sull'.

A charming cat called Mirò and his many animal friends are featured in this beautiful animation for kids. The circle of friends get caught in a rainstorm and use colorful umbrellas to keep themselves dry.

Marika adds the preposition con (with) to the list of prepositions that combine with definite articles.

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.
