Questions & Answers about Infine pago la bolletta online con la carta bancomat.
What does Infine mean in this context?
It means “finally” or “in the end,” signaling that this is the last step in a sequence of actions.
Why isn’t io included before pago?
Italian often drops subject pronouns because the verb ending (–o in pago) already tells you it’s first-person singular (“I pay”).
Why is the definite article la used with bolletta?
bolletta means “bill” (usually for utilities) and is a feminine, singular noun, so it takes the feminine singular article la.
What role does online play here, and why is it placed between bolletta and con?
online is an adverb describing the method of payment. Italian word order often allows adverbs after the direct object (la bolletta) and before a prepositional phrase (con…).
Why do we use con before la carta bancomat?
con means “with” and introduces the instrument or means by which you perform the action—here, paying with the debit card.
What exactly is a carta bancomat?
In Italy, a carta bancomat is a debit card directly linked to your bank account. It is not a credit card.
Could I say “Pago la bolletta con la carta di credito” instead?
Yes. That simply means you’re paying the bill with a credit card rather than a debit card.
I’ve seen il bancomat used too. What’s the difference between il bancomat and carta bancomat?
il bancomat usually refers to an ATM machine (where you withdraw cash), while carta bancomat is the actual debit card you use for payments.
