🗨In Conversation
Posso prelevare dei soldi dal mio conto di risparmio?
Can I withdraw some money from my savings account?
Sì, puoi prelevare dai tuoi risparmi.
Yes, you can withdraw from your savings.
✕Common Mistakes
Sì, puoi prelevare da il tuo risparmi.
The article *il* must contract with *da* to *dai*; also *risparmi* is plural, so the article should be *i*.
Sì, può prelevare dai tuoi risparmi.
Using *può* (third‑person) would address someone else; the correct form for ‘you can’ is *puoi*.
Sì, puoi prelevare da i tuoi risparmi.
When the preposition *da* is followed by a plural article, it contracts to *dai*; you cannot keep the separate article *i*.
↔Alternatives

Cultural Tip
In Italy many banks impose a limit on the number of free withdrawals per month, especially from high‑interest savings accounts. While the phrase itself is neutral, using *Sì* followed by a modal verb sounds courteous and professional. In more casual conversation you might hear *Certo* or *Va bene* instead of *Sì*.
