Episode Description
In this episode of Le piccole parole, we begin exploring the Italian preposition CON, a little word that has a wonderful way of bringing things together.
We look at three essential uses of CON: being with someone, using a tool or instrument to do something, and describing the way something is done.
Con Marco. Con il coltello. Con cura.
Along the way, we'll explore natural expressions such as con calma, con pazienza, con attenzione and con amore, and look at why Italian sometimes gives these expressions a little extra weight with the indefinite article.
