In this lesson, Marika explains, with examples from Yabla videos, two words that always puzzle learners: mica and manco. The first part is all about mica. Here's what you need to know!

Marika answers a question about some tricky adverbs of place: avanti, davanti, and difronte. She begins, in this segment, with avanti (forward), an adverb that is mostly used with verbs of motion, such as andare (to go) and venire (to come)
Difficulty: Beginner

Adverbs davanti and di fronte have to do with a position in relation to something or someone. In contrast, avanti [forward], discussed in part 1, is primarily about motion.
