Questions & Answers about È una difficoltà da superare per integrarsi qui.
Why do we use da in da superare instead of a or di?
In Italian, the preposition da followed by an infinitive is used to express that something needs to be done. Here, una difficoltà da superare means 'a difficulty to be overcome'.
Why is integrarsi reflexive here if the English translation just says 'to integrate'?
Why is the pronoun si attached to the end of the verb in integrarsi?
When an infinitive verb like integrare takes a pronoun like si, the verb drops its final -e and the pronoun attaches directly to the end, forming integrarsi. This attachment rule applies to all pronominal verbs when used in the infinitive.
How does per work before an infinitive like integrarsi?
Using per directly before an infinitive verb translates to 'in order to' or 'for the purpose of'. So per integrarsi means 'in order to integrate'.
