Questions & Answers about Ribadisci che non vuoi pagare la tua quota?
How does the possessive la tua show the shift to indirect speech here?
Why is the verb vuoi used instead of voglio if the person was originally talking about their own fee?
This is another necessary shift for indirect speech. The original direct quote was "I don't want..." (non voglio). Since we are now addressing the person directly about what they said, the verb shifts to the "you" form (non vuoi).
Is ribadisci an irregular verb?
No, it is a regular -ire verb, but it belongs to the group that adds -isc- to the root in the present tense, just like capire (to understand) or finire (to finish). The infinitive is ribadire, so the "you" form becomes ribad-isc-i.
Does quota only mean "fee"?
It generally translates to "fee," "share," "quota," or "portion." In this context, it refers to a person's expected financial contribution, like a club membership fee or their specific share of a group bill.
