Questions & Answers about Noi andiamo al cinema con te.
Why does the sentence use te instead of tu for "you"?
In Italian, after a preposition like con (with), you must use a "stressed" pronoun instead of a normal subject pronoun. So, "with me" is con me, and "with you" is con te. You can never say con tu!
Why do we say al cinema instead of just a cinema or in cinema?
Going "to the cinema" or "to the movies" always uses the preposition a combined with the masculine definite article il (the). When you combine a + il, you get al. It is a set phrase you just have to memorize, similar to al supermercato (to the supermarket).
Is cinema a feminine word since it ends in -a?
Could I leave out the word noi and just say andiamo al cinema con te?
