Questions & Answers about Mi sento tranquillo quando cammino nel giardino.
Why is mi sento used instead of simply sento?
In Italian, sentire by itself often means "to hear," while sentirsi is a reflexive form meaning "to feel (oneself)." Using mi sento expresses your own internal feeling, not just a general sensation you perceive externally.
Why do we say tranquillo and not tranquilla or tranquilli?
Tranquillo here matches the masculine singular form. In Italian, adjectives must agree in gender and number with the person or thing they describe. If the speaker identifies as masculine singular, tranquillo is correct; if it were a female speaker, she would say tranquilla.
What is the difference between nel giardino and in giardino?
Both can mean "in the garden," but nel giardino is more explicit, literally translating to "in the garden," with nel being a contraction of in + il. In giardino is slightly less formal and can have a broader meaning like "in a garden environment." Often in everyday speech, they're used interchangeably, but nel giardino can sound a bit more precise.
Why is quando used instead of other words meaning "when"?
Italian has different words that convey a sense of time, but quando is the standard way to say "when" in a temporal clause. It directly introduces the circumstance under which something happens, making it the most natural choice in this context.
