Questions & Answers about Ho spinto la mia capacità fisica fino al limite.
How does the phrase fino al work here?
The phrase fino a (up to / until) is a compound preposition. Because it is followed by il limite (the limit), the preposition a merges with the article il to become the articulated preposition al. So, fino a + il = fino al.
Where does the word spinto come from?
It is the irregular past participle of the verb spingere (to push). Like many verbs ending in -ingere (such as dipingere, which becomes dipinto), it drops the ending and adds -into to form the past participle.
Why does capacità have an accent mark on the final letter?
Why do we say la mia capacità instead of just mia capacità?
Unlike in English, Italian almost always requires a definite article before a possessive adjective (so we need la before mia). The main exception is with singular, close family members (like mio fratello), but for regular or abstract nouns like this one, you must keep the article.
