April 30th, 2007 at 8:35 pmWhen is it proper to use abitare instead of vivere?…such as : “Abitiamo qui insieme” or “Io vivo a Cosenza.” What is the difference?
Thanks, I love the podcasts.

April 30th, 2007 at 11:22 pm“Abitare” literally means “to dwell”, while “vivere” translates with “to live”, both with the same meaning of being resident and in the broader sense of being alive.
When speaking of an address, abitare is more properly used than vivere.

August 9th, 2007 at 7:41 amI was just wondering about the quiz for this section, shouldn’t it be mia sorella instead of mio sorella? If I’m wrong can you explain why it is mio sorella?
Many thanks, finding the podcasts really helpful and easy to use.
