Questions & Answers about L'insegnante sa quattro lingue.
Why do we use sa instead of conosce for knowing languages?
Sa is the "he/she" form of sapere, but why doesn't it end in "-e" like a regular verb?
Sapere is highly irregular in the present tense. Instead of dropping the "-ere" and adding an "-e" (which would incorrectly make "sape"), the third-person singular form is simply sa. You will just have to memorize this irregular form!
Is l'insegnante a male or female teacher?
Why does the word for languages, lingue, end in -e?
