Advanced Description
This is is an experimental feature. Please report any issues.The verb come is one of the most commonly used verbs in the Italian language. It is an irregular verb, which means that it does not follow a regular conjugation pattern. However, it is also one of the most important verbs to learn because it is used so frequently in everyday conversation.
When using the verb come, it is important to remember that it can be used in a variety of contexts. For example, it can be used to describe physical movement towards a specific location or person, such as 'I am coming to your house tonight.' It can also be used to describe the arrival of a new season or event, such as 'Spring has come at last.'
In addition to its literal meaning, come can also be used in a number of idiomatic expressions. For example, 'come stai?' is a common greeting that translates to 'how are you?' Literally, it means 'how do you come?', but this expression has taken on a more figurative meaning over time.
