Questions & Answers about Dai, non è difficile!

Why does dai mean "come on"? Isn't it the verb "to give"?
Yes, dai is literally the "you" form of the verb dare (to give). But in everyday Italian, it's used as a very common exclamation meaning "come on!" to encourage someone, show disbelief, or even tell someone to stop doing something.
Where is the word for "it" in non è difficile?
In Italian, you usually leave out subject pronouns (like I, you, he, she, it) because the verb already shows who or what you are talking about. The verb è means "is", and without another subject, it naturally translates to "it is".
Does the adjective difficile change if we are talking about a feminine word?
No, it stays the same! Adjectives that end in -e (like difficile or grande) are used for both masculine and feminine singular nouns. They only change to an -i ending when they are plural.
