✕Common Mistakes

  • Stampo il migliore percorso.

    Adjectives like ‘migliore’ normally follow the noun; placing it before sounds unnatural.

  • Stampo la percorso migliore.

    ‘Percorso’ is masculine, so the correct article is ‘il’, not ‘la’.

  • Stampo il percorso più migliore.

    ‘Migliore’ already means ‘best’; adding ‘più’ creates a redundancy.

Cultural Tip

In Italy many hikers still prefer a paper map, especially in the Alps and Apennines, so saying ‘Stampo il percorso migliore’ can sound very practical and trustworthy.
