Questions & Answers about Iscrivetevi e portate i documenti che avete!
Why is vi attached to the end of iscrivetevi?
Because iscriversi (to sign up / enroll) is a reflexive verb, and this sentence is an affirmative command. When giving an affirmative command informally (using the tu, noi, or voi forms), pronouns must attach directly to the end of the verb. Here, the voi command iscrivete (sign up) + the reflexive pronoun vi (yourselves) combines into the single word iscrivetevi.
The English translation just says "Sign up". Why does Italian use a reflexive verb here?
Why doesn't portate (bring) have a pronoun attached to it like iscrivetevi does?
Is che required here, or can I leave it out like we often drop "that" in English?
