Questions & Answers about Non la dimenticheremo mai, la sua lealtà.
The word lealtà ends with an accented vowel. How would I say 'loyalties' in the plural?
Why does the sentence use the pronoun la before the verb when la sua lealtà is already mentioned at the end?
This is a common way to add emphasis in spoken Italian. By using the pronoun la (it) before the verb and tagging the actual object, la sua lealtà (his loyalty), at the end after a comma, the speaker makes the statement much more dramatic. Literally, it translates to 'We will never forget it, his loyalty.'
Why is there an 'h' in dimenticheremo? The infinitive verb is dimenticare.
Verbs ending in -care and -gare add an h in all future tense forms. This is done to keep the hard 'c' or 'g' sound. Without the h, the 'c' followed by an 'e' would mistakenly be pronounced with a soft 'ch' sound.
Why use Non ... mai instead of just saying mai?
