Ciao! Can you tell me the significance of the word “al” in the phrase “al cellulare” in this lesson. Can you tell me other examples of the use of the word “al”?

David, the preposition “al” means both “on” and “to”.

The example “al cellulare” means “on the cellphone”. Ex: “chiamami al cellulare” (call me on the cellphone).

Another example is “andiamo al mare” (let’s go to the sea). As you can see, in this example “al” means is used as “to”.
