Questions & Answers about I fondi che abbiamo chiesto sono per la comunità.
Why is there no word for "for" after abbiamo chiesto?
The Italian verb chiedere means both "to ask" and "to ask for". The concept of "for" is already built directly into the verb, so adding a preposition like per after chiesto would be incorrect.
English speakers often say "The funds we asked for" without the word "that". Can I drop che in Italian?
No, you can never drop the relative pronoun in Italian. Even though skipping "that" is perfectly normal in English, you must always include che to link the two parts of the sentence together.
Since che refers to the plural noun i fondi, why is it abbiamo chiesto instead of abbiamo chiesti?
When forming the past tense with the helper verb avere, the past participle usually stays in its default -o form. While you must make the ending match if you use a direct object pronoun like li (them) before the verb, changing the ending to match the relative pronoun che is optional and usually skipped in everyday Italian.
Why does comunità have an accent mark at the end?
