To be (in love) in Italian
Using the verb “essere” — to be
Italians are renowned for being pretty passionate. If they ask you out, it's entirely possible that they'll confess their love for you on the very first date.
So you need to be prepared! In order to recognize your date's declaration — "I am soooo in love with you!" you first have to learn the verb "to be".
(It's also a pretty useful thing to know in general.)
One big difference to English: In Italian it's not necessary to use the pronoun. (That's the words like "I", "you", "she", "it", "we", "they".) In fact, Italians will often leave it out. Don't let that throw you!
Armed with this new verb, you can use (and understand) all kinds of useful romance-related phrases:
