"I have the sandwiches."

Translation: Ho i panini.

[ChristyyyS]

what is the difference between i and le?

[D-N]

i = plural form of il, le = plural form of la

il panino -> i panini --- la farfalla -> le farfalle

[Desgavell]

Why can't I say the subject?

[mukkapazza]

You can, you just don't have to. You could think of it like this: conjugations in Italian actually change depending on who is doing what. In English, the only distinction is he/she/it has the rest are have. So you get a lot of details from "ho i panini".

[bubba1294]

Do Italians normally drop the pronouns in everyday speech?

[flaoxxx]

yes

[Marninger]

ho = I have
hai = you have
ha = he/she/it/You have
abbiamo = we have
avete = you (all) have
hanno = they have

As the subject is built into the conjugation of the verb the pronoun (I/you/he/etcetera) most times is dropped. It can be added for emphasis, - if so it normally comes first or last in the sentens.

[RyanGaming21]

In french, you have verb conjugation like in italian but you still have to use the pronouns

[mounir.ela1]

You can say it:
"Io ho i panini" is correct, But it is also a common to say "ho i panini".
And since "ho" is only use with "io" then we can understand the sentence without subject.

Tramezzini is the word I learned for sandwiches.

[flaoxxx]

tramezzino usually is a sandwich made with bread for toast cutted in the shape of triangle, panino is when it is made with normal bread

[Marninger]

tra = between
mezzo = half
-ini = a diminutive in plural (making things smaller / less important)

tramezzino = a small bite halfway between (meals) / a snack / Imbiss in German.

[PilarPinoV]

What is the difference between i panini or gli panini. Its wrong gli panini but it is plural

[MiguelSanc649854]

'Gli' is used when the (masculine plural) noun starts with a vowel, 'z' or 's'+consonant

[Ali457822]

Then why do we say "gli uomini" if uomini does not start with an 's' or 'z'
From the instructional notes, for words that start with: z, x, y, ps,gn OR s+consonant, you would us "le" before those words.

[CASM82]

Why can´t I put "Io ha panini" ?

[everett475154]

Because it's io ho panini

[flaoxxx]

Why can't you say "I has panini"?

[Isidor868839]

Why is "panini imbottiti" wrong?

[AlexPhysique]

io ho panini - is wrong. And I didn't find anything about it. It must be added like a right answer.

[ToroTorinTorito]

Was this a question? Or why did I have to started with the verb and no with the subject???

[ofenolan]

Io ho i panini/ why is this wrong?

[kim467112]

How is io ho le panini not the same? Help?

[Marninger]

It's "i panini" as *sandwiches are masculine in Italian, - il panino / i panini.

("le" is the fem. plural article, - la mela / le mele)
