Does this sentence need the subjunctive? Hi there, I wonder if someine could help with the following. Do I need the subjunctive in the following sentence; 'I think that the shop is open' * Credo che il negozio è aperto * Credo che il negozio SIA aperto I have learned that the subjunctive is always used when something is not certain, and always after the phrase 'credo che'. However, I've just seen this sentence writen without using the subjunctive (sentence 1), but surely that is incorrect and the subjunctive must be used (sentence 2)? Hope very much that someione can help. Thanks Kayleigh

Is it correct to say 'leggerissimo'? Hi to everyone! I hope someone can help with the following question. I want to ask for 'a very weak coffee' Is it possible to add the suffix '-issimo' on to the end of 'leggere' in order to say 'very weak indeed', ie not a strong coffee 'Vorrei un caffe leggerissimo' I know that 'issimo' can be added to an adjective or adverb to make the superlative but that it cannot be used in every case? Grazie Kayleigh

Do these sentences with reflexive and a non-reflexive verb have same meaning? Ciao Is there any difference in meaning between ‘FERMACI’and ‘CI FERMIAMO’ which I think both mean ‘WE STOP’. They are used in the following sentences; Che ne dici di FERMARCI (How about WE STOP at the pharmacy) Allora prima CI FERMIAMO (Then before WE STOP) I am thinking that the first one is reflexive ‘FERMARSI’ whereas the second is just the normal verb ‘FERMARE’?? but according to a dictionary definition, both have the identical meaning ‘TO STOP’ Why therefore are both versions used and do they have the same meaning? Would it be possible therefore to say switch the two around and say; Che ne dici di CI FERMIAMO Allora prima FERMARCI I hope that someone may be able to offer their expertise which would be very gratefully received. Thanks Kayleigh
