L'amore! <3

[Wichito390]

La cosa più bella del mondo!

[paraguaijin]

anche è la cosa piú amara del mondo ;__;

[theduolingan]

Why 'a lei' here for 'of her' ?

[Briguy84]

I would assume because "di' is normally used for places while "a" seems to used for people.....this is just a guess though

[Uomo_Siciliano]

I wonder is its okay to say "Penso su di lei giorno e notte." Meaning " I think about her day and night. Instead of "I think of her day and night". If a native italian speaker can clarify this I qould appreciate it. Grazie.

[Uomo_Siciliano]

Would*

[Erick_Gomez]

i love this one, defenitly sending it to my future gf S2

[Hopejt]

Awwwww :')

[Farida7]

I noticed that i can memorize in Italian only such kind of romantic sentence...

[walgen]

but for some reason she will only deign to see me in autumn..

[lukman.A]

Can we also say "La penso giorno e notte"?

[JennaHO]

Could I put Penso di lei giorno e notte?

[amizzi1960]

I like you would have thought di lei

[shankar284592]

I like it

[marquislpila]

This reminds me of Bocelli's “Vivo per lei” <3

[Master_Katarn]

Nice! Always love to see comments mentioning Bocelli :)
He is one of the reasons why I'm learning Italian right now haha.

[Douglas381466]

Cole Porter said, "notte e giorno."

[chatee]

Can it be used in a polite form and as result of it the translation to English be: I think of you day and night?.

[danagalizia]

I principle, yes, but in this case the pronoun would/should be capitalized: Penso a Lei giorno e notte.

See here:

[Diffal]

I would have said so, but I you generally only use formal for those people you don't properly know, or to talk to professionals/officials, or for your elders, so that would be a bit creepy.

[paraguaijin]

;__;

[andrewjfisk]

this is sweet. putting this one in my back pocket....

[Major_Bear]

So, would "I think of you day and night" be "Penso a tua giorno e notte"?

[Anna591186]

I was wondering that as well would it be "Penso a tuo giorno e notte" if i am saying it to my Italian boyfriend?

[PB_Bandit]

How am I supposed to know 'a lei' means 'of her' when 'of' isn't even listed when the cursor hovers over 'a'?

[Vangelis576418]

The best thing I learn so far

[beautifull17]

Is not penso a new verb?

[Mariannarelli]

No

[marc.libra]

I think day and night of her... that was wrong, a bit childish

[Donata930481]

Why is "I think about her day and night" incorrect

[Donata930481]

My mistake. I think about her day and night is accepted

[egregor1]

why does lei have to mean 'her'? could it not also be 'you'

[Naseem200170]

Re-asking a question that does not seem to be answered.

Why 'a lei' and not 'di lei'?

[sylviamora]

Awww <3
