Episode 43. おいとけ！

Moltissimi studenti di italiano, ogni volta che devono utilizzare tempi composti come il passato prossimo o altri tempi verbali come il futuro remoto (ebbene sì, in italiano abbiamo due tempi verbali per il futuro e non te la caverai se userai soltanto il futuro semplice :p ) sono assaliti dal dubbio amletico su quale ausiliare scegliere tra essere e avere, come può capitare a un appassionato di cucina campana, appena arrivato nel centro di Napoli, nel perenne dubbio se prima mangiare una crocchè o una sfogliatella. 

La situazione con i verbi tuttavia è più semplice e possiamo affermare che: 

-in alcuni casi ci sono regole precise sull'uso dell'ausiliare.

- in altri casi non esistono proprio regole precise.

-essere e avere sono gli ausiliari più diffusi ma...attenzione! non sono gli unici ausiliari in italiano(in alcune forme passive si usano altri ausiliari anche i verbi venire, andare, rimanere )

Vediamo insieme le differenze:

​Ausiliare essere= -Si usa per creare la forma passiva.

Esempio: Il centro di Venezia è visitato ogni anno da migliaia di persone. 
-Si usa con la maggior parte dei verbi impersonali

esempio: è avvenuto un contrattempo che ci ha impedito di arrivare in orario.

​-Si usa con la maggior parte dei verbi intransitivi

Esempi:

Luigi è andato a comprare il pane

Narmina è uscita insieme alle amiche.


Ausialiare Avere: -È l'unico usato con i verbi transitivi.

Esempio:

-Mohammed ha aperto la porta.

-Igor ieri sera ha visto un film. 

È usato con alcuni verbi impersonali

come piovere, nevicare, grandinare (che parlano del tempo) ma si può anche utilizzare il verbo essere in questi casi come ausiliare. 

Esempio:

-Ieri ha piovuto per tre ore.

-Ieri è piovuto.

-Viene usato con alcuni verbi intransitivi

in particolare quelli che indicano uno stato mentale o un'attività fisica.

Esempi:

-Arianna oggi ha corso tre chilometri.

-Aisha ha saputo il risultato dell'esame.

Ausiliare essere o avere?

Welcome back to another episode of Streetwise English. I'm your host, Carl. I'm an italki American English tutor. Today I want to talk about technical aids for learning languages. And specifically, I want to talk about headphones. So one of the most important things for improving your fluency in any foreign language is to listen to content in that target language.
So for me, I'm currently studying Spanish and trying to maintain my Chinese, so I don't forget it. So what I like to do every day is listen to podcasts. Now you can listen while you're doing other activities like washing your clothes or washing the dishes or exercising at the gym. You can listen to podcasts while you're on the treadmill. 

But the problem is headphones can smash your ears and make your ears uncomfortable. So what I like to do is use bone conduction headphones or earphones. It's a type of headphone that doesn't actually cover your ear canal. It goes in front of your ear and kind of sits on your face. Um, kind of behind your sideburns if you're a man, right in front of your ear and the sound transmits a vibration that goes into your skull and into your ear and your brain can hear the sound just from the vibrations going through your bones. And so they are called bone conduction headphones. I swear by them. And I use them every day. I have a pair which is charged with a USB C port.

So there are many different kinds of options on the market, but I like the ones that use a USB C port to charge them because I don't have to worry about losing the appropriate proprietary charging cord. Instead, I can just use any USB C charging cord to power up the headphones. 

So another advantage of using bone conduction headphones is that while you're wearing them, you can hear sounds outside of the content that you're listening to.
So for example, say, I'm running, I'm jogging and listening to my podcast which is in Chinese while I'm jogging. ( Text limit )

Creating conversation is really quite easy. All you have to do is learn how to ask questions and be interested in the answers. I believe that this ability is at the very heart of business.

Practical Steps for Language Learning Through Social Media
Here are a few ways to make your scrolling habit more productive:
•	Notice Trends: Pay attention to popular phrases, abbreviations, and hashtags. Jot down new words and look them up if you’re unsure.
•	Evaluate Tone: Is the language used playful, serious, persuasive, or informative? Recognizing tone helps you decide when to use similar language styles.
•	Contextual Learning: When you come across unfamiliar slang or buzzwords, try using them in a sentence yourself or research examples. Understanding how a word fits into context is essential for true fluency.
•	Assess the Quality of Writing: Is the post well-thought-out or thrown together? The choice of words can reveal the writer’s intent and mindset, helping you decide what language to adopt or avoid.
