Questions & Answers about Documento la muffa mentre il perito prepara la perizia.

Why does documento mean I document here and not document as a noun?

In this sentence, documento is the first-person singular present tense of the verb documentare = to document.

• (io) documento = I document
• il documento = the document

Italian often allows the subject pronoun to be omitted, so documento by itself already means I document.

Why is there no word for I in the sentence?

Italian is a pro-drop language, which means subject pronouns are often left out when the verb ending already makes the subject clear.

• documento = I document
• documenti = you document
• documenta = he/she documents

Because -o clearly marks io, Italian usually does not need io unless you want emphasis or contrast.

For example:

• Io documento la muffa, non tu. = I document the mold, not you.
