Learn Hardcore Italian: Devo compilare questa scheda con i miei dati personali per l’iscrizione. - I need to fill out this form with my personal data for registration.

In this context, compilare means “to fill out” (as in filling out a form). It refers to the act of completing a document by entering the required information.

What does scheda refer to, and how is it similar to the English word “form”?

Scheda generally means “form” or “sheet.” In this sentence, it is the form you must fill out with your personal details during the registration process.

Why is the possessive adjective miei used instead of mio in the phrase i miei dati personali?

Because dati (data) is plural, the adjective must agree in number. Miei is the plural form of “my,” so i miei dati personali means “my personal data.”

What does the phrase per l’iscrizione indicate?

The phrase per l’iscrizione means “for the registration” or “for enrollment.” It explains the purpose of filling out the form—that it is needed in order to register.

Why is compilare in its infinitive form after devo?

In Italian, modal verbs like dovere (here conjugated as devo, meaning “I have to”) are followed by the infinitive form of the main verb. So, devo compilare translates directly as “I have to fill out.”
