Questions & Answers about Blocchi qualche venditore ogni giorno.

Why is there an h in blocchi?

The verb is bloccare (to block). Because it ends in -care, you have to add an h in the tu (you) form to keep the hard "k" sound. Without the h, it would be spelled blocci and pronounced with a soft "ch" sound like in "cheese".

Why is venditore singular if the translation says "some salesmen"?

In Italian, the word qualche (some or a few) must always be followed by a singular noun, even though the meaning is plural. So, qualche venditore translates to "some salesmen," but it is grammatically singular.

Could I say tutti i giorni instead of ogni giorno?

Yes! Ogni giorno means "every day" and tutti i giorni means "all the days." They mean exactly the same thing and are used interchangeably. Just remember that ogni (every) always pairs with a singular noun.

Why isn't the word for "you" included at the beginning?

In Italian, subject pronouns like tu (you) are usually dropped because the verb ending already tells us who is doing the action. The -i ending on blocchi makes it clear that "you" are the one doing the blocking.
