Common Mistakes

  • Vado a le riunioni del team.

    The preposition ‘a’ must contract with the article ‘le’ → ‘alle’.

  • Vado alle riunioni del il team.

    ‘Del’ already includes the article; adding another ‘il’ is redundant.

  • Vado alle riunioni del teami.

    ‘Team’ is a loanword that stays singular; do not add an Italian plural ending.

Alternatives

  • Partecipo alle riunioni del team.

    I participate in the team meetings.

  • Assisto alle riunioni del team.

    I attend the team meetings.

Cultural Tip

In Italian corporate environments, especially in tech and start‑up sectors, the English word ‘team’ is widely used and often paired with Italian nouns (e.g., ‘riunioni del team’). For a more formal tone you could say ‘riunioni del gruppo di lavoro’. Remember that ‘riunione’ can sound quite formal; in casual settings people might also say ‘incontro del team’.
