Questions & Answers about Questo è lo spogliatoio dove vengo per prepararmi.
Why is the pronoun mi attached to the end of prepararmi?
When a reflexive verb like prepararsi (to get ready) is used in the infinitive, you drop the final -e and attach the reflexive pronoun directly to the end. Since the person getting ready is 'I', the pronoun changes to mi, creating prepararmi.
Why do we use per before prepararmi here?
In Italian, when you want to express the purpose or reason for an action (meaning 'in order to' in English), you use per followed by an infinitive verb. So, per prepararmi literally means 'in order to get myself ready'.
Why is the article lo used in lo spogliatoio?
Could I say dove vado (where I go) instead of dove vengo (where I come)?
