Questions & Answers about Accendi la torcia e seguimi in soffitta.
What form is accendi and what does it mean?
Accendi is the 2nd-person singular present imperative of the verb accendere (“to turn on” or “to switch on”). In this sentence it gives the direct command turn on (the flashlight).
Why is there la before torcia?
Why is there no article before soffitta in in soffitta? Shouldn’t it be nella soffitta?
When you talk about going to or being in enclosed spaces like rooms or floors, Italian often drops the article after in: in cucina, in soffitta, a scuola, a letto. Saying nella soffitta is also correct (it emphasizes “in the attic”), but in soffitta is more idiomatic for simply indicating “to the attic.”
Why is the pronoun mi attached to segui instead of saying segui me?
