Questions & Answers about Non cliccare su quel link, dobbiamo ancora testare il codice!
How could I rewrite the first part of the sentence using the pronoun ci from this lesson?
You could say Non ci cliccare. Since ci can replace phrases starting with su (on) plus a thing, it perfectly replaces su quel link (on that link). With a negative informal command, ci can go before the verb (Non ci cliccare) or attach to the end of the infinitive by dropping the final 'e' (Non cliccarci).
Why is the verb in the infinitive form (cliccare) instead of a conjugated command form like clicca?
Why does this sentence use quel instead of quello for 'that link'?
The word quello (that) changes its ending based on the noun that follows it, exactly like the definite article does. Since the English loanword link is treated as a masculine noun starting with a regular consonant, it would take the article il (il link). Therefore, quello matches that pattern, drops the last syllable, and becomes quel.
Why is ancora placed between dobbiamo and testare?
Placing adverbs like ancora (still/yet) directly after the conjugated helping verb (dobbiamo) and before the main infinitive verb (testare) is the most natural word order in Italian.
