Questions & Answers about Dove incontri Marco?
Why isn't there a word for "do" or "are" in the Italian sentence?
In Italian, questions don't use a helper word like "do" or "are". The present tense verb incontri covers "do you meet" and "are you meeting" all by itself. You just put the question word dove right in front of the verb.
Is dove always spelled like this, or does it change?
How do we know this means "you" are meeting Marco?
Why does the English translation say "are you meeting" instead of "do you meet"?
Italian uses the simple present tense for actions happening right now, habits, or even plans in the near future. So incontri can translate to "you meet", "you are meeting", or "you are going to meet" depending on the context.
