L'ANALISI LOGICA in italiano: Impara a distinguere Soggetto, Predicato e Complementi 🇮🇹

In order to properly comprehend the meaning of a sentence, it's often necessary to understand the role that all the elements composing it play. Therefore, in the following lesson we are going to talk about analisi logica (logical analysis) that's practiced to classify the functions of the various  elements of the clause: subject, predicate, complement and so on. 📝 Written Explanation: https://learnamo.com/en/logical-analy... 👕 👚 LearnAmo Collection: https://teespring.com/wear-italia-3 (Rocco's t-shirt) / https://teespring.com/italia-1 (Graziana's t-shirt) If you want to stay up to date and know when we publish new Italian contents, follow us on: Facebook:   / learnamo   Instagram:   / learnamo   Twitter:   / learnamo   The elements of the clause (logical analysis) Before we get to the heart of this topic, it's necessary to clarify that in a clause (or proposition) there are some fixed elements that can't miss and other elements that add information and clarifications to the core of the clause, but that are optional The fixed elements are: Soggetto (Subject) Il "soggetto" is the element of which the predicate (formed by a verb) expresses something and it can indicate: the person or the thing performing the action: "Paolo mangia" (Paolo's eating) / "La penna scrive" (The pen is writing (working)) the person or the thing whose quality is expressed Examples: "Paolo è bello" (Paolo is handsome)/ "La penna è rossa" (The pen is red) the person or the thing that is subjected to the action: Examples: "La mela è mangiata" (The apple is eaten) / "La penna fu comprata" (The pen was bought) It can also be: a noun, proper or common Example: "Paolo scrive" (Paolo is writing) / "La lavatrice si è rotta" (The washing-machine is broken) a pronome (pronoun) Example: "Voi avete parlato" (You have spoken) / "Lei ha ricevuto un regalo" (She has received a gift) sottinteso (implied), when it's a pronoun, but it's not necessary to make it explicit because it goes without saying or already known Example: "Siamo (noi) andati a pranzo fuori" ((We) went out for lunch) Predicato (Predicate) "Il predicato" is the element that says something about the subject: who they are, how they are, what they do, what they go through and it can be: nominale formed by the verb “essere” (to be) (copula) + a noun or an adjective (nome del predicato): Esempi: "Marco è un architetto" (Marco is an architect) / "Marco è ricco" (Marco is rich) formed by a  verbo copulativo (copulative verb) namely a verb that has no meaning on its own, but it requires an adjective or a noun to acquire a proper meaning (sembrare (to seem), diventare (to become), dire (to say)) + a noun or an adjective (predicativo del soggetto): Esempi: "Paolo è stato eletto Presidente" (Paolo has been elected President) / "Federico è diventato capitano della squadra" (Federico has become captain of the team) verbale (predicative verb) formed by any other verb that's not"essere" (to be) or a copulative verb: Examples: "Marco vive a Los Angeles" (Marco lives in Los Angeles) / "Marco lavorava tanto" (Marco used to work a lot) / "Il libro è stato letto" (The book has been read) / "Ci laveremo dopo" (We'll have a bath later) The optional elements are: Complemento Il "complemento" (complement) enriches and completes the content of the clause by giving additional information. There are a lot of complements but it's usually possible to recognize them through a question: oggetto (direct object): answers the question “Chi? Che cosa?” (Who? What?) Example: "Luigi compra una macchina" (Luigi is buying a car) di specificazione (genitive case): answers the question “Di chi? Di che cosa?” Example: "La professoressa di matematica è simpatica" (The Math teacher is nice) di termine (indirect object): answers the question “A Chi? A che cosa?” Example: "Ho comprato un regalo alla mia amica" (I've bought a gift for my friend) d'agente (for people) / di causa efficiente (for things): answer the question “Da Chi? Da che cosa?” Example: "Il ladro è stato arrestato dai poliziotti / Luca è stato colpito dalla palla" (The thief has been arrested by the cops/ Luca has been hit by the ball) di causa: answers the question “Per quale motivo?” Example: "Troppa gente muore di fame" (Too much people die of hunger) di fine: answers the question “Con quale scopo/fine?” Example: "Compriamo il cibo per la festa di stasera" di mezzo: answers the question “Per mezzo di chi? Per mezzo di che cosa?” Example: "Siamo andati a Madrid in macchina" di compagnia (con le persone)/ unione (con le cose): answer the question “Insieme a chi? Insieme a che cosa?” 👇🏽 We suggest that you also watch: 👇🏽 Analisi Grammaticale:    • L’ANALISI GRAMMATICALE in italiano: Impara...   👈🏽 Analisi del Periodo:    • ANALISI del PERIODO in italiano: come indi...   👈🏽
