[Joe617659]

That's amooooooreee!

[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

[Bigant_underdog]

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.

[kitterino]

I asked a native speaker about this. She said you could only say "Penso a lei" (I think about her) and "su di" for "Scrivo su di lei" (I write about her)

[Bigant_underdog]

Would*

[julieremesova]

They used it in anoteer sentence so i'm actually confused if they're just interchangeable or one of them is preferred..

[Erick_Gomez]

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

[Farida7]

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

[Hopejt]

Awwwww :')

[Douglas381466]

Cole Porter said, "notte e giorno."

[Jazger]

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

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

[Wira_basa]

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

[paraguaijin]

;__;

[JennaHO]

Could I put Penso di lei giorno e notte?

[amizzi1960]

I like you would have thought di lei

[shankar284592]

I like it

[walgen]

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

[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.

[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:
http://italian.about.com/cs/grammar/ht/formalinformal.htm

[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.

[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?

[SLiu13]

I think it should be "penso a te" not tuo or tua

[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

[egregor1]

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

[sylviamora]

Awww <3

[Evatg4]

Why not "penso su di lei"?

[JillianPeraccini]

Awwwwww

[Ruairidh685473]

This is a phrase I will use alot

[Teggio1]

It sounds like 'prenzo a lei giorno e notte'

[captks]

why not consider vs think

[GeorgeLiverpool]

[Muhammad.raw]
