1

Imperative (Premi)

‘Premi’ is the second‑person singular imperative of the verb *premere* (to press). It is used for direct commands on a device or screen.

Quoted word ('No')

The word *No* is placed in quotation marks to indicate the exact label of the button the user must press.

✕Common Mistakes

  • Premi 'No' per saltarelo.

    The clitic pronoun *lo* must be attached to the infinitive, not split.

  • Premi 'No' per saltare.

    When the object is understood (the video, the step, etc.), you need the pronoun *lo* – *saltarlo*.

  • Premi No per saltarlo.

    Quotes are required around the button label to avoid ambiguity.

Cultural Tip

In Italian UI design the word *No* is often used as a direct opposite of *Sì* (Yes) rather than the more formal *Annulla* (Cancel). When you see *No* on a button, it usually means ‘decline’ or ‘skip’, not ‘stop the whole process’. Keep the tone friendly and concise, especially in apps for language learners where brevity helps comprehension.
