Visitiamo la tomba ogni anno.

Visitiamo is the present tense, first person plural form of visitare (to visit).

• io visito = I visit
• tu visiti = you visit
• lui/lei visita = he/she visits
• noi visitiamo = we visit
• voi visitate = you all visit
• loro visitano = they visit

So visitiamo la tomba means we visit the tomb/grave.

Italian often leaves out subject pronouns when they are already clear from the verb ending.

• Visitiamo already tells you the subject is we
• So noi is not necessary

You could say Noi visitiamo la tomba ogni anno, but that usually adds emphasis, like We visit the grave every year.

Italian uses the definite article much more often than English.

So where English might sometimes say we visit the grave, Italian normally says visitiamo la tomba.

Here la means the, and tomba is a feminine singular noun, so it takes la.

It can mean either, depending on context.

• tomba often means tomb
• but in many real-life contexts it can also correspond to grave

Italian and English do not always match perfectly word-for-word here, so the exact best translation depends on the situation.

Both are possible, and both can mean every year.

• ogni anno = every year
• tutti gli anni = every year / all the years

Ogni is followed by a singular noun:

• ogni giorno = every day
• ogni settimana = every week
• ogni anno = every year

So ogni anno is completely natural here.

Because ogni is normally followed directly by a singular noun without an article.

So:

• ogni anno
• ogni mese
• ogni volta

Not:

• ogni l’anno
• ogni il mese

That would be incorrect.

Yes. Italian word order is flexible, especially with time expressions like ogni anno.

These are all possible:

• Visitiamo la tomba ogni anno
• Ogni anno visitiamo la tomba

The second version puts a little more focus on every year.

The original sentence is very natural and neutral.

Because the Italian present tense is often used for habitual actions.

So visitiamo here means:

• we visit regularly
• we go every year
• a repeated custom or habit

This is very similar to English:

• We visit the grave every year

No. Ogni anno works by itself as a time expression.

So:

• Visitiamo la tomba ogni anno = correct

You do not need:

• in ogni anno
• a ogni anno

Those would not sound right in this sentence.

A simple pronunciation guide is:

vee-zee-TYAH-mo

A few helpful points:

• the stress is on -tia-
• the s in visitiamo sounds like a z sound here
• tiamo is pronounced as one smooth unit

And the whole sentence can be approximated as:

vee-zee-TYAH-mo lah TOM-bah ON-yee AN-no

Normally, no. In this sentence, the natural meaning is a habit: we visit the grave every year.

Italian present tense can sometimes correspond to English am/is/are doing, but with ogni anno the habitual meaning is the obvious one.

So learners should understand this as a regular repeated action, not something happening right now.
