Phrasal verbs are very common in English so, if you are a native English speaker who is learning Italian, you may be wondering if the Italian language has phrasal verbs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Italian language does indeed have phrasal verbs. Some of these, when translated literally, are very similar, if not identical to, English phrasal verbs and are easier to understand for an English speaker who encounters them for the first time. Some others have an idiomatic meaning and so, when translated literally, don’t correspond to a phrasal verb in English. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
In this article you will find out how phrasal verbs are structured and you’ll get to learn how to use a number of popular Italian phrasal verbs. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is a phrasal verb? <\/h2>\n\n\n
A phrasal verb is a verb that is made of two parts: a verb + a preposition (e.g. in) or adverb (e.g. down). <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The preposition or adverb that follows the verb acts to change its meaning. For example “to give” on its own has a different meaning from “to give up”, “to give in” or “to give off”. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Examples of phrasal verbs in English are: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
To break down<\/em><\/li>
To take off<\/em><\/li>
To set up<\/em> <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
The meaning of a phrasal verb is given by the combination of the verb and preposition\/adverb. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n
How Italian phrasal verbs are made<\/h2>\n\n\n
Italian phrasal verbs are called verbi sintagmatici<\/em> or also, more similar to English, verbi frasali<\/em>, although the latter is more often used by Italian speakers when they refer to the English language. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Phrasal verbs are not as popular in Italian as they are in English, but they exist nonetheless and are very useful to convey a range of actions and feelings. Similar to English, Italian phrasal verbs are less formal than their non-phrasal counterparts.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Italian phrasal verbs are made in the same way as English and follow the formula: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It it worth noting that the majority of Italian phrasal verbs are made with adverbs, such as sotto<\/em> (under), dietro<\/em> (behind) or fuori (out)<\/em>, whilst the majority of English phrasal verbs are made with a preposition (such as in, up or off<\/em>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
