Questions & Answers about Mi fido che tu chiuda la trattativa dopo il riscontro.
Normally, "to trust" is fidarsi di. Why is there no di before che in this sentence?
This is the core of our current lesson! In Italian, you cannot put a preposition like di or su directly in front of the conjunction che (that). While you would say mi fido di te (I trust you), when connecting to a new clause starting with che, the di is completely dropped, giving us mi fido che.
Why is the verb chiudere in the subjunctive mood (chiuda)?
Verbs expressing trust, hope, expectation, or belief (like fidarsi) trigger the subjunctive in the dependent clause. Because the subject changes from "I" (mi fido) to "you" (tu chiuda), the subjunctive is required to show that this is an expectation rather than an objective fact.
Why is the subject pronoun tu included here? Isn't it usually dropped in Italian?
In the present subjunctive, the conjugations for I, you, he, she, and it are often identical (all are chiuda for this verb). Including the pronoun tu removes any ambiguity, making it instantly clear that you are the one closing the negotiation.
The translation says "you will close", but chiuda is in the present tense. How does Italian express the future here?
