Questions & Answers about Cambiamo la disposizione per provare qualcosa di diverso.
Since the current lesson is about the prefix 'ri-', how would adding it to the verbs here change the sentence?
Adding ri- to provare gives us riprovare (to try again). If we add it to cambiare, we get ricambiamo. While ricambiare can mean "to change again," it is much more frequently used to mean "to reciprocate" or "to return the favor" (like returning a greeting or a gift).
Why do we need the preposition di between qualcosa and diverso?
Why is per used before the infinitive provare?
In Italian, when an infinitive is used to express the purpose or reason for an action (meaning "in order to"), it must be preceded by per. We are changing the arrangement in order to try something different.
