Questions & Answers about Compro credito per il telefono.
How would I change this sentence to say 'I can buy' using the verb potere from our current lesson?
Why isn't there a word for 'I' (io) at the beginning of the sentence?
In Italian, subject pronouns are usually dropped because the verb ending already tells you who is doing the action. The -o at the end of compro makes it clear that 'I' am the one buying.
Why is there no article like il or un before credito?
Is credito the normal word used for phone minutes or data?
Yes! Prepaid phone plans are very common in Italy. When you need to add money to your phone balance for data or minutes, you buy credito (credit) or ask to do a ricarica (a top-up or recharge).
