Questions & Answers about Chi sceglie questa piattaforma, oltre a risparmiare, trova un'interfaccia intuitiva.
Why do we use the infinitive risparmiare after oltre a instead of a gerund like the English '-ing' form?
In Italian, when a verb immediately follows a preposition (like the a in oltre a), it must be in the infinitive form. You will never use the Italian gerund (like risparmiando) after a preposition, even though English uses the '-ing' form ('besides saving').
The English translation says 'Those who choose', so why is the verb sceglie in the singular form?
Does risparmiare only mean saving money, or could it mean saving time on this platform?
Risparmiare can mean saving money, time (risparmiare tempo), or energy (risparmiare energia). When used on its own without a specific object, as it is here, it is usually assumed to mean saving money, but in a tech context, saving time is a very valid secondary meaning.
Why is there an apostrophe in un'interfaccia?
Interfaccia is a feminine noun that starts with a vowel. The feminine indefinite article una drops its final a and takes an apostrophe before a vowel to make pronunciation smoother. Remember that the masculine article un does not take an apostrophe before a vowel.
