✕Common Mistakes
Qui accettano le carte di credito anche.
Placing "anche" after the noun can change the emphasis; keep it before the noun phrase to stress that credit cards are an additional option.
Qui si accetta anche le carte di credito.
If you refer to a specific business, you can use the impersonal "si accetta"; using "accettano" implies a plural subject (they).
Qui accettano anche carte di credito.
Dropping the article is possible in very informal speech, but standard Italian keeps the article with plural nouns.

Qui si accettano le carte di credito.

Le carte di credito sono accettate qui.

Cultural Tip
In Italy cash is still king, especially in small towns and family‑run shops. While most larger establishments accept credit cards, it’s polite to ask first and to have some cash on hand for places that might not. Also, note that "qui" can be placed at the beginning or the end of the sentence without changing the meaning, but starting with "Qui" adds a slight emphasis on the location.
