✕Common Mistakes

  • c'è dei commenti?

    ‘c’è’ is singular and should be used with singular nouns; for plural you need ‘ci sono’. The correct form is ‘Ci sono dei commenti?’

  • Qualcuno ha commenti?

    Missing the partitive article ‘dei’; it sounds abrupt. Adding ‘dei’ makes the request sound more natural.

  • Qualcuno ha dei commenti.

    Leaving out the question mark changes it from a question to a statement. In spoken Italian intonation signals the question, but in writing the ‘?’ is essential.

Cultural Tip

In Italian, asking for input with ‘Qualcuno ha dei commenti?’ is considered courteous and inclusive. If you’re in a very formal setting, you might say ‘Qualcuno desidera fare una osservazione?’ The partitive article ‘dei’ is preferred over the simple plural ‘commenti’ because it softens the request, implying you’re open to any amount of feedback.
