Questions & Answers about In estate potete riposare tranquillamente.
How do we get the adverb tranquillamente from the adjective tranquillo?
Why is it in estate instead of nell'estate?
When talking generally about something that happens during a season, Italian simply uses the preposition in without a definite article. So, "in summer" translates directly to in estate.
Why is riposare left in its dictionary form instead of being conjugated?
Because it follows potete (you all can), which is a modal verb. When a modal verb is paired with another action, only the first verb gets conjugated. The second verb always stays in its infinitive (dictionary) form.
