Questions & Answers about Stabiliamo le faccende di casa ogni settimana.

Why doesn't stabiliamo have the -isc- insert if stabilire is an -isc- verb?
While stabilire is indeed an -isc- verb (for example, io stabilisco, lui stabilisce), that extra insert only applies to the singular forms and loro (often called the "boot" of the conjugation table). The noi and voi forms are always regular, making it simply stabiliamo and stabilite.
Does stabilire sound too formal here? Would Italians actually say "establish" for chores?
Although it translates literally as "to establish," stabilire is very common in everyday Italian to mean "to decide on," "to set," or "to figure out." In this context, it perfectly captures the idea of sitting down to sort out or schedule the chores.
Is faccende di casa the standard way to say "chores"?
Yes! Le faccende di casa (or just le faccende) is the most natural, everyday phrase for household chores. You might also hear i lavori domestici, but that sounds slightly more formal or clinical. Fun fact: faccenda comes from the verb fare, originally meaning "things to be done."
Could I use tutte le settimane instead of ogni settimana here?
Absolutely, they mean the exact same thing and are completely interchangeable. Just be careful with the grammar: ogni is invariable and must be followed by a singular noun with no article (ogni settimana), whereas tutto agrees with the plural noun and requires a definite article (tutte le settimane).
