Learn Italian: Dovresti meditare nel parco. - You should meditate in the park.

Dovere means "must" or "to have to" in the regular present tense. However, putting it in the present conditional tense softens its meaning to "should" or "ought to." This is the standard way to give advice or make suggestions in Italian.

Why is the verb meditare not conjugated?

Dovere is a modal (or "helper") verb. When you use a modal verb, the main action verb that immediately follows it stays in its infinitive (dictionary) form. You only conjugate the first verb (dovresti) and leave the second one as is (meditare), with no extra connecting words between them.

Where is the word for "you" in this sentence?

Italian verbs have specific endings for each subject, so the subject pronoun is usually dropped. The -esti ending on dovresti tells us exactly that "you" (singular, informal) are the one who should meditate. You would only add tu at the beginning if you wanted to emphasize it.

Why do we say nel parco instead of just in parco?

When talking about being in a specific place like a park, Italian requires you to include the word for "the." Instead of saying in il parco, the preposition in merges with the definite masculine article il to create the combined word nel.
