Questions & Answers about Marco è scontento del risultato, ma gli inoltreremo l’allegato con le correzioni.

What is the role of del in del risultato?
del is the contraction of di + il. In this sentence di means “of” and il is the definite article “the,” so del risultato literally means “of the result.”
Why is scontento followed by di instead of another preposition?

Certain Italian adjectives of emotion or opinion govern the preposition di when introducing their object. Examples:

  • scontento di qualcosa (unhappy about something)
  • soddisfatto di qualcosa (satisfied with something)
  • contento di qualcosa (happy about something)
How is the future tense inoltreremo formed?

inoltreremo is the noi form of the futuro semplice of the verb inoltrare (to forward). For -are verbs you:

  1. Drop -are → inoltr-
  2. Add the future ending -eremo → inoltreremo
Why do we use gli before inoltreremo?
gli is the third-person singular indirect object pronoun meaning “to him.” The verb inoltrare here takes an indirect object (forward something to someone), so we place gli before the verb for “to him.”
What is l’allegato and why is there an apostrophe?
allegato is a masculine singular noun meaning “attachment.” The definite article il contracts to l’ before a vowel, giving l’allegato.
Why do we say con le correzioni?
con means “with,” indicating accompaniment or instrument. le correzioni is feminine plural (“the corrections”), because you typically have multiple corrections in a document.
Could you use a pronoun instead of l’allegato and say glielo inoltreremo?
Yes. glielo combines gli (to him) + lo (it, masculine sing.) → glielo inoltreremo means “we will forward it to him.” Both forms are correct; one uses the full noun, the other the double clitic pronoun.
Is the comma before ma necessary?

It’s common (and stylistically clear) to put a comma before ma when joining two full clauses, especially if they are somewhat long or contrast strongly. It marks the shift:
“Marco è scontento del risultato, ma gli inoltreremo l’allegato con le correzioni.”
