Cultural Tip

In Italian advertising, English loanwords like "extra" are very common and sound modern, but in formal writing you might prefer "aggiuntiva" or "supplementare". Remember that clitic pronouns (ti, mi, le, etc.) always precede the verb in standard Italian, unlike the English "to you" construction.
