Learn Italian: Esci il lunedì? - Do you go out on Mondays?

Uscire (to go out) is a highly irregular verb! For most forms in the present tense, the starting u- changes to esc-. So 'I go out' is esco, 'you go out' is esci, and 'he/she goes out' is esce. Only usciamo (we go out) and uscite (you all go out) keep the original 'u'.

Why is there an il before lunedì? Doesn't that mean 'the Monday'?

In Italian, using the definite article (like il) before a day of the week means the action is a recurring habit. So il lunedì translates to 'on Mondays' or 'every Monday'. If you just meant 'Are you going out this coming Monday?', you would drop the il and simply ask Esci lunedì?.

Where is the word for 'Do' in this question?

Italian doesn't use helper verbs like 'do' or 'does' to form questions. You simply use the normal statement form (esci means 'you go out') and add a question mark at the end, raising your pitch at the end of the sentence when you speak.

Should I include the word tu and say Tu esci il lunedì?
