Questions & Answers about Sì, sono stanco.
Why is there no word for "I" before sono?
In Italian, you can usually drop subject pronouns like io (I) because the verb itself tells you who is doing the action. Since sono means "I am" here, the "I" is already built in!
Wait, doesn't sono also mean "they are"? How do we know it means "I am" here?
If I am a woman, do I still say stanco?
Why does the word sì have an accent mark on the i?
The accent mark distinguishes it from another word. Sì with the accent means "yes." Without the accent, si is a pronoun you will learn about later. The accent mark is a visual cue to tell them apart!
