Questions & Answers about Loro sono lì insieme?
I learned that sono means "I am". Why does it mean "they are" here?
Can I drop Loro and just say Sono lì insieme?
Yes! In Italian, you usually drop the subject pronoun (like Loro) because the verb or the context tells you who is doing the action. Saying Sono lì insieme? is completely natural. You only include Loro if you want to emphasize that they are there, or to avoid confusion since sono can also mean "I am".
The words are in the same order as "They are there together". How do you form questions in Italian?
In English, we swap the word order to make a question ("They are" becomes "Are they?"). Italian is much simpler! You just keep the normal sentence order and put a question mark at the end. When speaking, you simply raise the pitch of your voice at the end of the sentence to show you are asking a question.
Why does the word lì have an accent mark?
The accent mark helps tell this word apart from another word spelled the exact same way. Lì with the accent means "there", pointing to a location. Without the accent, li is a completely different word that means "them".
