    One thing you might address regarding imperatives is the placement of indirect object pronouns. Aren’t there some special rules for positive imperatives? Eg, “lasciarmi indovinare!”

      That's a good point! Direct and indirect object pronouns are attached to the end of imperatives in the tu and voi forms, but they are placed before the verb for imperatives in the Lei form. Here are some examples:
      - Lasciami indovinare! --> Mi lasci indovinare!
      - Fatelo bene! --> Lo faccia bene!
      For certain verbs whose tu form of the imperative is very short (i.e. fare, dare, dire), in order to link the verb in the tu form and the direct or indirect object pronoun, we double the first letter of the pronoun attached to the verb.For example:
      - Fallo! (Do it!)
      - Dimmi! (Tell me!)
      - Dallo a Giorgio! (Give it to Giorgio!) / Dammi una mano! (Give me a hand!)
      Things work differently for the negative imperative, but we will talk about it in the next episode of the Show 😀

    Are you going to get into direct and indirect pronouns in this season? I’m not sure if I spelled it correctly but you know the “l’ho” in the phrase “l’ho mangiato” 😊

      Ciao 👋 Thank you for your quesiton. We are not going to talk about direct and indirect pronouns in this season, but we do have a few episodes of our podcast (open.spotify.com/show/2I9ACJWueaf71QgA82M5WX?si=114cd763c1cd44c1) where you can learn more about them: Lesson 1 and Lesson 2 are about direct object pronouns, Lesson 7 is about indirect object pronouns. Hope this helps 😀

    I really want to like this channel but it is so pedantic in a pandering way. It sounds like you’re talking to five year olds.
