Sì (affirmation)

Used to answer positively to a yes/no question; note the accent on the 'ì' distinguishes it from 'si' (himself).

2

è (essere, 3rd pers. sing.)

The present indicative of 'essere' meaning 'is'; it agrees with the implicit subject (il tempo, la giornata, etc.).

3

bello (adjective)

Common Mistakes

  • Sì, è bella fuori.

    The adjective must stay masculine (bello) because the implied subject (il tempo) is masculine.

  • Si, è bello fuori.

    Missing the accent on 'Sì' changes the meaning to the reflexive pronoun 'si'.

  • Sì, è bello fuori?

    Using a question mark turns the statement into a question; the intended meaning is a confident affirmation.
