Questions & Answers about Lo preferisco rispetto alla tv, lo streaming illimitato.
Why does rispetto a become rispetto alla here?
The connector rispetto a (compared to) is followed by the noun tv (short for televisione), which is feminine singular and takes the definite article la. The preposition a combines with la to form the articulated preposition alla.
Why is there a lo at the beginning if the object lo streaming illimitato is already stated at the end?
This is a conversational structure called right dislocation. The speaker uses the pronoun lo to state their preference immediately (lo preferisco - I prefer it), and then tags the actual object (lo streaming illimitato) at the end of the sentence to clarify what "it" is.
Could I just use standard word order without the first lo?
Why does the English word "streaming" take the article lo?
