Questions & Answers about La banca è su questo lato della piazza.
How could we rewrite "on this side of the square" using the al di expressions from this lesson?
Is there another common way to translate "on this side" besides su questo lato?
Why does su stay separate here instead of combining into a word like sul?
As a quick refresher: Italian prepositions only fuse into single words (articulated prepositions) when they meet a definite article (like il or lo to make sul or sullo). Because questo is a demonstrative adjective and not an article, the preposition su must remain a separate word.
