Before you read
In this lesson you'll follow Luana through a whole day in Florence. You already have most of what you need — reflexive verbs, the time, the parts of the day. A few new words first:
| Italian | English |
|---|---|
| la sveglia — suona la sveglia | the alarm clock — the alarm goes off |
| fare colazione | to have breakfast |
| andare a piedi — lei va a piedi | to walk, go on foot — she walks |
| il lavoro — al lavoro | work — to work |
| la merenda — fare merenda | the afternoon snack — to have a snack |
| tornare a casa | to go back home |
| sedersi — lei si siede | to sit down — she sits down |
| prepararsi | to get ready |
| addormentarsi — lei si addormenta | to fall asleep — she falls asleep |
Sedersi is irregular: the stem becomes sied- when it's stressed — mi siedo, ti siedi, si siede, si siedono — but stays sed- in ci sediamo and vi sedete.
