Questions & Answers about Chi vende i dolci? Li vendiamo noi.
Why is the subject pronoun noi placed at the very end of the sentence?
In Italian, when you want to emphasize WHO is doing the action, especially to answer a 'who' question, you put the subject pronoun after the verb. Saying Noi li vendiamo would sound flat, whereas Li vendiamo noi strongly emphasizes that WE are the ones selling them.
Could I keep the English word order and say 'Vendiamo noi li'?
Why do we use li in the second sentence?
The English translation says 'We are selling them', but vendiamo is simple present. Could I use stiamo vendendo?
