✕Common Mistakes
Sì, lo è molto rilassante.
Avoid using ‘lo è’ because ‘è’ already includes the subject; you need a verb like ‘trovo’ or ‘ritengo’ to link the pronoun with the adjective.
Sì, trovo molto rilassante.
Without the pronoun the sentence feels incomplete unless the noun is repeated.
Sì, lo trovo molto rilassanti.
‘Rilassanti’ is plural; the adjective must agree with the singular ‘lo’.

Sì, è molto rilassante per me.

Cultural Tip
In Italian, personal opinions are often expressed with ‘trovo’ (I find) rather than ‘penso’. The pronoun ‘lo’ must match the gender of the noun it replaces; if you’re talking about a feminine thing, use ‘la’ (e.g., ‘la trovo molto rilassante’). Italians also like to add a short reason after the statement, such as ‘perché…’, to make the conversation more fluid.
