Voglio sincronizzare il telefono con il computer.

In Italian, the subject pronoun is often omitted because the verb ending already shows who is doing the action.

• voglio = I want
• The -o ending tells you it is I

So Voglio sincronizzare il telefono con il computer is completely natural. You could say Io voglio... if you want extra emphasis, such as I want to do it.

Voglio is the first person singular present indicative of the verb volere = to want.

A few forms of volere are:

• voglio = I want
• vuoi = you want
• vuole = he/she wants
• vogliamo = we want
• volete = you all want
• vogliono = they want

So here, voglio means I want or sometimes I want to when followed by another verb.

After volere, Italian normally uses another verb in the infinitive.

So the pattern is:

• voglio + infinitive
• I want + to + verb

Examples:

• Voglio mangiare = I want to eat
• Voglio dormire = I want to sleep
• Voglio sincronizzare = I want to synchronize

This is very similar to English, except Italian does not use a separate word like to before the second verb in this structure.

Italian uses definite articles more often than English does.

So:

• il telefono = the phone
• il computer = the computer

In English, you might sometimes say sync phone with computer in a more casual or technical style, but standard Italian normally keeps the articles here.

Both telefono and computer are masculine singular nouns, so they take il.

Con means with, so con il computer means with the computer.

This is the natural preposition with sincronizzare in this sentence:

• sincronizzare qualcosa con qualcosa = to synchronize something with something

Here:

• il telefono is the thing being synchronized
• con il computer tells you what it is being synchronized with

Yes. Con il computer can also become col computer.

Both are understood, but there is a slight style difference:

• con il computer = more neutral, very common
• col computer = shorter, also correct, often heard in speech

So you may see:

• Voglio sincronizzare il telefono con il computer
• Voglio sincronizzare il telefono col computer

Both are correct.

Yes, sincronizzare is the normal verb for to synchronize in technical and everyday contexts.

Examples:

• sincronizzare il telefono
• sincronizzare i contatti
• sincronizzare i file

In casual tech speech, especially in spoken Italian, some people may also use English-influenced expressions, but sincronizzare is the standard Italian verb.

Yes. In many everyday situations, cellulare is even more specific if you mean a mobile phone.

Common options:

• telefono = phone
• cellulare = cell phone / mobile phone
• smartphone = smartphone

So these are all possible depending on context:

• Voglio sincronizzare il telefono con il computer
• Voglio sincronizzare il cellulare con il computer
• Voglio sincronizzare lo smartphone con il computer

Notice that smartphone takes lo, not il, because of the consonant cluster at the beginning.

A common difficulty for English speakers is the gli sound.

Voglio is pronounced approximately like VOH-lyo, but the gl sound is not exactly the same as normal English ly. It is a special Italian sound, also heard in:

• figlio
• famiglia
• moglie

Also:

• vo- is stressed
• so the stress is on the first syllable: VÒ-glio

A helpful approximation is:

seen-kroh-nee-TSAH-re

Notes:

• sin- sounds like seen but shorter
• cr is a clean Italian consonant cluster
• zz in -izzare is pronounced like ts
• the stress is on -za-: sincronizzàre

So the ending is not like English -ize, but more like -its-TSAH-re.

The order is very natural in Italian:

• Voglio = I want
• sincronizzare = to synchronize
• il telefono = the phone
• con il computer = with the computer

So the structure is:

want + infinitive + object + prepositional phrase

This is the most neutral and standard order. Italian does allow some flexibility, but this version is the most natural for a simple statement.

Not exactly in a strict grammatical sense. The sentence literally means I want to synchronize the phone with the computer, where I am the one performing the action.

If you want the idea that the phone itself syncs, Italian might use a different structure, for example with a reflexive form in some contexts. But in normal everyday usage, your original sentence is exactly what people would commonly say when they mean they want to sync the phone.

Yes. Computer is widely used in Italian and is completely standard.

It is treated as a masculine noun:

• il computer
• un computer
• questo computer

Unlike many Italian nouns, it usually does not change form in the plural:

• il computer
• i computer

So although the word originally comes from English, it is fully normal in Italian.
