Using "da" + infinitive in Italian - Walk, Talk and Learn Italian Episode 001

You can use the preposition "da" with an infinitive in Italian to talk about something that has to be done, or that is worth doing. Join Coffee Break Italian hosts Francesca and Mark for this first episode of our new series, Walk, Talk and Learn Italian.

This episode is based on an advert Mark sees in Milan: "Hai un immobile da affittare? Dovevivo, il tuo inquilino ideale". This phrase means "Do you have a property to rent out? Dovevivo, your ideal tenant." As Francesca explains, da + infinitive can be translated in a number of ways. For example, in the phrase "ho molto da fare", you can simply translate "da" as "to": "I have lots do to". In other examples, "da" takes on the meaning of "it's worth doing something", for example, "Milano è una città da vedere": Milan is a city worth seeing. All will be explained in this episode of Walk, Talk and Learn!
