Questions & Answers about Abbiamo ottenuto il finanziamento tramite l'ente.
Why use tramite here instead of attraverso?
Both translate to 'through', but they have different nuances. Attraverso often suggests physical movement through a space, though it is also used figuratively. Tramite specifically indicates an intermediary or a means of mediation. This fits perfectly here since the institution acted as the intermediary to provide the funding.
Does tramite combine with definite articles to form a single word, like di or in do?
No, tramite never merges with definite articles. Unlike basic prepositions, it stands entirely on its own. You simply place it next to the regular article, resulting in separate words like tramite l'ente or tramite il sito.
Could we use mediante instead of tramite in this sentence?
What exactly is an ente?
An ente is a formal term for an organization, institution, or agency. It is most often used to refer to public, government, or administrative bodies, though it can also apply to recognized non-profit organizations.
