Questions & Answers about Siamo in pasticceria e il fioraio è qui vicino.
Since this lesson is about the locative word ci (meaning "there"), how would I use it if I wanted to say "We are there" instead of naming the pastry shop?
Why is it just in pasticceria instead of using the word for "the" (like nella pasticceria)?
In Italian, shop names that end in -eria (like pasticceria, pizzeria, gelateria) almost always take the simple preposition in without the article ("the") when you talk about being in or going to them.
How exactly does qui vicino mean "nearby"?
