Why is it ostinarti instead of just ostinare?
Ostinarsi (to persist, to be stubborn) is a pronominal verb. It must always be used with a reflexive pronoun, even though the action isn't literally reflecting back on the subject. Since the subject is "you", the pronoun is ti, which attaches to the end of the infinitive by dropping the final "e" (ostinar-ti).
