One, everybody, somebody, anybody, nobody, each one in Italian
| Demonstrative pronoun | Translation |
|---|---|
| Uno/una | One |
| Ognuno/Ognuna/Tutti | Everybody |
| Ciascuno | Each one |
| Ognuno | Each one |
| Nessuno | Nobody |
| Qualcuno | Somebody |
| Chiunque | Anybody |
Uno, una, ognuno, ognuna, ciascuno, ciascuna, qualcuno, qualcuna, nessuno, nessuna have a feminine and masculine variation.
Tutti (plural masculine) has all forms of declension, singular/plural, masculine/feminine.
Chiunque is invariable.
Take a look at the following sentences.
| Italian | English |
|---|---|
| Quando il professore distribuiva i fogli non sapeva di doverne dare due a ciascuno. | When the professor was handing out the papers, he didn't know that he had to give two to each student. |
| È un segreto che sai solo tu quindi sei pregato di non dirlo a nessun altro. | It is a secret that only you know, so please don't tell anyone. |
| Questa penna deve essere di qualcuno. | This pen must be of somebody. |
Uno, nessuno and qualcuno lose the last vowel in front of the word Altro (another/else).
Example: Nessun altro mi ha chiamato. (Nobody else called me)
Something, nothing in Italian
| Italian | English |
|---|---|
| Qualcosa | Something |
| Niente/nulla | Nothing |
Let's analize the following sentences.
| Italian | English |
|---|---|
| Quella scatola può contenere anche qualcosa di bello. | That box can also contain something beautiful. |
| Io non so nulla su questo argomento. | I don't know anything about this topic. |
| Qualunque sia la tua scelta finale, io non voglio saperne niente. | Whatever will be your final choice, I don't want to know anything about it. |
Qualcosa and nulla lose their vowel if followed by the word Altro (Another/else).
Example: Raccontami qualcos'altro. (Tell me something else.)
A little, many/much, too many/too much, some, none, a lot in Italian
| Italian | English |
|---|---|
| Alcuno Alcuna | None |
| Alcuni Alcune | Some |
| Poco | A little/a few |
| Tanto | Many, much |
| Molto | A lot, much |
| Troppo | Too many/too much |
| Parecchio | A lot |
Poco, Tanto, Molto, Troppo, Parecchio have all forms of declension, singular/plural, masculine/feminine.
Be careful not to confuse Alcuno, Alcuna in the singular form, that translate as none, with Alcuni, Alcune in plural that translate as some.
Take a look at the following sentences.
| Italian | English |
|---|---|
| Non avere troppa fretta, ormai manca poco. | Don't be in such an hurry, it's almost time. |
| Mi piace il cioccolato, ma penso di averne mangiato troppo. | I like chocolate, but I think I had way too much. |
| Mio padre colleziona francobolli, ma ancora non ne ha molti. | My dad collects postmarks, but he doesn't have many of them yet. |
As much as (tanto quanto)
The expression tanto quanto means as much as.
Example: Voglio bene a mio padre tanto quanto ne voglio a mia madre. (I love my father as much as I love my mother.)
Tanto vs molto
Tanto and molto have almost the same meaning. They are mostly used in the same contexts but we can't use molto instead of tanto when expressing a consequence.
Example: There were so many that I couldn't make a decision.
- CORRECT: Ce n'erano così tante che non ho saputo scegliere.
- WRONG: Ce n'erano così molte che non ho saputo scegliere.
All, everything, everyone in Italian
Tutto and its forms can be also followed by numbers, separated by the conjunction e.
In this case, it indicates the total amount of things or people as a whole.
| Italian | English |
|---|---|
| Non sapevo in quale negozio entrare, così sono passata da tutti. | I didn't know which shop to enter, so I passed by them all. |
| Tutti e tre i miei fratelli abitano a Milano. | All of my 3 brothers live in Milan. |
| Tutti i bambini sono usciti dalla classe. | All the children got out of the classroom. |
Exception: nobody and nothing
Nessuno (nobody) and niente/nulla (nothing) belong to the group of negative indefinite pronouns, and have different usages compared to English
They could, indeed, appear both in affirmative and negative constructions.
If these pronouns follow the verb, they are accompanied by the negation non (not), placed before the verb.
| Italian | English |
|---|---|
| Mia mamma mi ha detto che in forno non c'è niente adesso. | My mom told me that there is nothing in the oven right now. |
Nessuno mi piace. | I don't like anybody. |
| Non è nulla di che. | It's nothing serious. |

Hi everyone!
My name is Daniela, I am Italian and I come from a small town in Sicily, Southern Italy. I am a qualified Italian language teacher and a CELI examiner! I work in two language schools teaching Italian and I also teach English at school.
I love foreign languages, translating, reading and listening to music. Are you ready to start your language learning path with me? We are going to learn many things and to talk a lot, if you allow me to! Don’t worry if you’ve never studied the language before: everyone can attend my classes – from beginner to advanced students. You just need passion for what you're going to do and... a good Internet connection. Materials are provided by me!
See you online!
M. B.
Daniela is a very competent and experienced Italian teacher. She prepares the lessons very carefully and focuses on all relevant aspects such as conversation, grammar and vocabulary. Above all, she has a very friendly personality that makes you feel at ease immediately. I can highly recommend her as an Italian teacher.
Daniela V.
Hello, my name is Francesca.
I am qualified Italian teacher.
I love teaching and my lessons are always tailored on your goals. During the first lesson, we will identify what you want to learn or to improve and I will design your lessons.
My approach is largely conversational: that is role-plays, informal conversation or other activites to help you. I welcome beginners right up to proficient speakers.
E. D.
Like the times before, it was perfect and a lot of fun. I am interested in the subject and I like to tell a lot and show Italian videos that are new to Francesca :-)

Very Nice communication, easy to study and practice Italiano, I am a Beginner and She has the patience to understand me.
Hola Pedro, thanks for your words. I'm glad you enjoyed our first class. Get ready, we are going to learn more and more! :-D
Hello,
I am a multilingual teacher with experience in teaching French to German, Japanese, English, Bulgarian and Italian-speaking students, etc. (levels A1 to C1).
I have been teaching French for 8 years in Luxemburg and now in Bulgaria for 4 years, to teenagers, housewives, businessmen, employees, doctors, etc. I can also help you with DELF and DALF preparation. I give lessons via Skype, Zoom and Microsoft Teams in several countries.
My teaching method for each class : a grammar point together with listening, a lot of speaking with conversation questions or games. While you speak, I write all the new words you need to express yourself, illustrated by pictures or translated in your language.
I do my best to make you feel comfortable to speak and for you to have a pleasant time. According to me, using humour will help you learn more easily.
Whether you need to learn French for business, integration in a French-speaking country or studying, I will be happy to help you. Do not hesitate to contact me for a free trial lesson.
Looking forward to hearing from you,
Katia
G. B.
Katia is a very sweet person, her pronunciation is BEAUTIFUL and she’s very knowledgeable. I loved my lessons with her. I highly recommend her
Katia H.
I am a private teacher in English, German and Italian. I am a Master's graduate in Translation and Interpreting at the University of Genoa, Italy. I am Italian native speaker. I know English and German at C2 level and Russian at B2 level.
I have been studying English for the last 15 years, first at school and then at the university and I have improved it on my frequent stays abroad. I have now been teaching English for 4 years, first to school children and teenagers and now adults too. I have experience teaching online and at home. I also have taught group classes.
Being fluent in several languages allows me to give students further explainations in their native language when needed. This also allows me to put myself in my students' shoes and understand better their difficulties. I try to meet the student's personal needs and objectives rather than impose my standard class.
During my classes I focus on the active skills of language, speaking and writing. I often ask students to do presentations so they practice writing and speaking at once. I strongly encourage self-studying along with frontal teaching in order to considerably shorten learning time. Homework is for me as important as frontal classes. If needed, I can provide students with textbooks and online material such as videos, news, songs and textes.

Federico is an exceptional teacher. He is patient, knowledgable and makes learning much less stressful. In the short time I've been working with him I feel that my Italian has grown so much faster. He has so many resources to share with his students and helps to coach me through the difficult parts of language learning! I highly recommend him to anyone wanted to learn Italian, it is truly a wonderful experience.
Federico C.

Ciao Robbie, thanks a lot for your feedback. I'm very happy you like the classes together and I'll do my best to keep them as fun and interesting as possible :-)
Do you want to learn Italian to know better the Italian culture and enjoy a trip in Italy? Do you need it for your business or to speak with your relatives?
Whatever is your reason in learning Italian I can help you and personalize your lesson according to your needs and interest.
My work as Italian tutor started with my love for languages and for travels. I experienced that learning a new language is a way to know a new culture and to enrich your knowledge of the world.
I started teaching Italian online few years ago. I have a TEFL certificate, and currently teach students from different parts of the world.
Before teaching Italian, I worked for a few years after graduation in tourism.
I believe that the teacher work requires continual renewal and study of new teaching methods is part of my job.
Feel free to contact me so we can tailor your personal lessons.

Hi everyone!
My name is Daniela, I am Italian and I come from a small town in Sicily, Southern Italy. I am a qualified Italian language teacher and a CELI examiner! I work in two language schools teaching Italian and I also teach English at school.
I love foreign languages, translating, reading and listening to music. Are you ready to start your language learning path with me? We are going to learn many things and to talk a lot, if you allow me to! Don’t worry if you’ve never studied the language before: everyone can attend my classes – from beginner to advanced students. You just need passion for what you're going to do and... a good Internet connection. Materials are provided by me!
See you online!

Daniela is a wonderful teacher. I really had difficulty properly expressing myself in Italian. Daniela not only tought me the basic rules of Italian grammar, but more importantly, during our many conversations in Italian, she helped me express myself much better and with confidence. I still have some path to go, particulalry deepening my knowledge of grammar. The next phase that I will start in a couple of months will focus on perfectionning that. I hope Daniela will find the time to work with me again

Hello my name is Lucia and I am a native Italian speaker.
I have a degree as an interpreter for English and French so I know how hard it may be to learn a foreign language. I work as a free-lance interpreter and private English and French teacher. I have a strong passion for languages which I have been studying for many years. I am studying Spanish now and always trying to improve my English and French knowledge. I am a friendly person and my lessons mainly focus on conversation. As a teacher I am very patient and I always propose tailor-made lessons with respect to your needs. I am really enthusiastic about being a teacher because this activity allows you to share your culture and habits with foreign people. Learning a language is also learning a new culture.
N. .
Lucia is a very engaging and sympathetic teacher. And although we have only done a couple of lessons we are feeling much more confident about the possibility of being able to converse in Italian. Thank you Lucia!

Hi, guys! My name is Lucia and I would like to invite you to learn Italian with me.
I am both a native speaker and a QUALIFIED teacher, as I hold a post-graduate degree in “Teaching Italian as a second language” and a national certification as teacher of Italian to not-native speaking.
My teaching method is COMMUNICATION-oriented and involves also the study of Italian culture and grammar. Indeed, as it happens in your mother language, the knowledge of spare words is not enough to get able to speak (i.e. INTERACT!) properly and conveniently.
I’ll prepare for you all teaching materials, tailoring lessons to your needs and interests, taking advantage from both the huge number of textbooks I hold and my creativity!
I offer lessons for all levels, from absolute beginners to advanced, as well as support in preparation to certification exams (I am also qualified ad examiner for the oral part of CELI).
Do not hesitate to get in contact with me to find a suitable time-slot for your trial lesson!

Lucia is an excellent teacher of the Italian language with an excellent methodology, with a perfectly organized and individualized teaching program that meets the needs and level of each student and with a willingness to offer multidimensional tools to achieve the purpose of the courses. At the same time, she is an extremely noble and pleasant person, with amazing contagion in her field! An excellent teacher whom I feel extremely lucky to have met!

Hola Pedro, thanks for your words. I'm glad you enjoyed our first class. Get ready, we are going to learn more and more! :-D
Hello,
I am a multilingual teacher with experience in teaching French to German, Japanese, English, Bulgarian and Italian-speaking students, etc. (levels A1 to C1).
I have been teaching French for 8 years in Luxemburg and now in Bulgaria for 4 years, to teenagers, housewives, businessmen, employees, doctors, etc. I can also help you with DELF and DALF preparation. I give lessons via Skype, Zoom and Microsoft Teams in several countries.
My teaching method for each class : a grammar point together with listening, a lot of speaking with conversation questions or games. While you speak, I write all the new words you need to express yourself, illustrated by pictures or translated in your language.
I do my best to make you feel comfortable to speak and for you to have a pleasant time. According to me, using humour will help you learn more easily.
Whether you need to learn French for business, integration in a French-speaking country or studying, I will be happy to help you. Do not hesitate to contact me for a free trial lesson.
Looking forward to hearing from you,
Katia
