Questions & Answers about Non decidere tutto da solo; dobbiamo stabilire turni equi.

Why is the infinitive decidere used here instead of a conjugated command like non decidi?

For the informal tu (you), negative commands are always formed with non + the infinitive. If this were an affirmative command, you would use the standard imperative form: decidi tutto da solo.

Why use da solo instead of just solo, and does it change depending on who I am speaking to?

Da solo specifically means "by oneself" or "without help," whereas just solo often simply means "lonely" or "only." Because it describes the subject, it must agree in gender and number. If you were speaking to a woman, you would say non decidere tutto da sola.

How could I combine these two clauses using a condizione che from this lesson?

You could rephrase the sentence to say: "You can decide everything alone on the condition that we establish fair turns." Since a condizione che triggers the subjunctive, it becomes: Puoi decidere tutto da solo a condizione che stabiliamo turni equi. Keep in mind that for noi, the present subjunctive (stabiliamo) is identical to the present indicative!

Does turni mean turns in a game, or shifts at work?
