Questions & Answers about Abbiamo inviato il modulo telematico entro il primo maggio.
How does entro work here compared to fino a?
Entro sets a deadline, meaning "by" or "no later than" a certain time. You use it for a single completed action, like sending a form. Fino a means "until" and is used for continuous actions that last up to a certain point.
What does telematico mean in this context?
Why is it il primo maggio instead of l'uno maggio?
When talking about dates in Italian, you only use the ordinal number (primo, meaning "first") for the very first day of the month. For all other days, you use regular numbers like due, tre, or venti.
Why do we need the article il after entro?
In Italian, specific dates require a definite article. Since you are stating the exact date of the deadline (the first of May), you must include il before the number, making it entro il primo maggio.
