Questions & Answers about L'uso del computer è sempre più diffuso.
How does sempre più work here, and why isn't it translated literally as 'always more'?
While sempre on its own means 'always', combining it with più (more) creates a progressive phrase meaning 'more and more' or 'increasingly'. This is the standard way to show that a quality is growing over time in Italian.
What is the word diffuso agreeing with in this sentence?
Why do we use del instead of just di before computer?
In English, we often just say 'computer use' or 'use of computers' without an article. In Italian, you typically need a definite article before a noun. So, it is literally 'the use of the computer', combining di + il to make the articulated preposition del.
