✕Common Mistakes

  • Nessun problema, lo porto ancora.

    Use ne to replace a phrase introduced by di; lo does not convey the partitive meaning.

  • Nessun problema, ancora porto.

    When ancora means “still”, it normally follows the verb (porto ancora). Placing it before the verb changes the meaning.

  • Nessuna problema, ne porto ancora.

    Problema is masculine; the correct article is Nessun, not Nessuna.

↔Alternatives

  • Nessun problema, ne porto di più.

    No problem, I’ll bring more of it.

  • Tranquillo, ne porto ancora.

    Don’t worry, I’ll bring some more.

  • Non c’è problema, ne porto ancora.

    There’s no problem, I’ll bring some more.

Cultural Tip

In everyday Italian, Nessun problema and Nessun problema, are interchangeable with Nessun problema, or Nessun problema, but Non c’è problema is a bit more formal. The pronoun ne is very common in spoken Italian to avoid repeating the noun, so mastering its placement before the verb will make you sound more natural.
