Questions & Answers about Entriamo nell'edificio insieme.

What form is entriamo?

Entriamo is the 1st person plural form of entrare (to enter / to go in) in the present indicative.

So it literally corresponds to we enter or we are entering, depending on context.

It can also sometimes be used like let's enter in Italian, because the 1st person plural present can have an exhortative sense. So without more context, entriamo could mean either:

• we enter / we are entering
• let's enter

Why is there no subject pronoun like noi?

Italian often drops subject pronouns when they are not needed, because the verb ending already shows who is doing the action.

Here, -iamo tells you the subject is we.

So:

• Entriamo = We enter / We are entering
• Noi entriamo = We enter / We are entering, but with extra emphasis on we

Italian usually prefers the version without noi unless you want contrast or emphasis.

Why is it nell'edificio and not just in edificio?
