Questions & Answers about Voglio vedere la scuola adesso.
Why don’t we say io voglio? Is it wrong to omit io?
In Italian, it’s common to drop the subject pronoun when the verb ending makes it clear who’s doing the action. Voglio vedere la scuola adesso and Io voglio vedere la scuola adesso both mean the same thing. Omitting io is perfectly natural in Italian speech and writing.
Why do we use vedere instead of guardare?
Vedere means “to see,” typically referring to a general sense of seeing or viewing. Guardare means “to watch” or “to look at something attentively.” Since the sentence focuses on simply wanting to see the school, not necessarily watch it in detail, vedere is the correct verb.
Why do we say la scuola and not just scuola?
In Italian, nouns generally require an article (in this case la for a feminine singular noun like scuola) unless there’s a specific grammatical or stylistic reason to drop it. Using la in this sentence is the standard way to refer to “the school.”
Can I move adesso to a different position in the sentence?
Yes, you can place adesso before the verb or at the beginning. For example, Adesso voglio vedere la scuola or Voglio vedere adesso la scuola are also correct. However, Voglio vedere la scuola adesso sounds natural and straightforward for most contexts.
