Questions & Answers about Imparo molto da te.

Why do we use da in this sentence?

In Italian, the preposition da is often used to mean "from". It shows origin, or where something is coming from. In this case, the knowledge you are getting comes from the other person, so you use da.

Why does the sentence use te instead of tu or ti for "you"?

Whenever a pronoun comes immediately after a preposition like da (from), a (to), or per (for), it has to be a "stressed" pronoun. The stressed version of tu is te. Therefore, "from you" is always da te, never da tu or da ti.

Could molto change its ending here, to something like molta or molti?

No, it must stay as molto here. When molto is used to describe a verb (telling us how much you learn), it acts as an adverb and never changes its ending. It only changes endings to agree with gender and number when it describes a noun, like in the phrase molti libri (many books).

Why isn't the word io (I) at the beginning of the sentence?
