Questions & Answers about Ti ho già inoltrato l’allegato, spero che adesso tu non sia più scontento.

What does Ti represent in Ti ho già inoltrato l’allegato and why is it placed before ho?

Ti is the second-person singular indirect object pronoun meaning to you. In Italian, object pronouns generally precede the finite verb, so ti comes before ho (the auxiliary verb) rather than after it.

What role does già play in Ti ho già inoltrato l’allegato and why is it placed there?

Già means already, indicating the action was completed before now. Its usual position is between the auxiliary verb and the past participle:

• Ti ho già inoltrato
  You could also say Ti ho inoltrato già, but the former sounds more natural.

What exactly does inoltrato mean, and how is it different from inviato?

• inoltrare = to forward (e.g. an email or attachment onward).
• inviare = to send (more general).
  Using inoltrare suggests you’ve forwarded something you received, while inviare could be an original send.

Why doesn’t inoltrato agree in gender and number with l’allegato?
