✦Grammar Breakdown
Accedialtuoaccountpermodificare
Accedi (imperative)
‘Accedi’ is the second‑person singular imperative of the verb ‘accedere’, meaning ‘to log in’ or ‘to access’. It is used to give a direct command.
al = a + il
‘al’ is the contraction of the preposition ‘a’ (to) and the definite article ‘il’ (the). It introduces a masculine singular noun.
tuo (possessive adjective)
‘tuo’ agrees in gender and number with the noun it modifies – here ‘account’, which is masculine singular, so ‘tuo’ is used.
account (loanword)
‘account’ is an English loanword that has been fully integrated into Italian; it behaves like a masculine noun (il account).
per + infinitive
The preposition ‘per’ followed by an infinitive expresses purpose: ‘to/for …’. Here it introduces the infinitive ‘modificare’.
modificare (infinitive)
‘modificare’ means ‘to edit’, ‘to modify’ or ‘to change’. In this construction it indicates the action the user will be able to perform after logging in.

✕Common Mistakes
Login al tuo account per modificare.
‘Login’ is an English noun; the correct Italian verb is ‘accedere’ (imperative ‘Accedi’) or the colloquial ‘loggati’.
Accedi a tuo account per modificare.
The article is required before ‘account’; it should be ‘al tuo account’ (a + il).
Accedi al tuo account per modificare il.
The infinitive ‘modificare’ does not need an object here; adding ‘il’ creates an incomplete phrase.

Cultural Tip
Italian web and app interfaces frequently keep English tech terms like ‘account’, ‘login’ or ‘password’. While ‘account’ is masculine (il account), you’ll also see the verb ‘loggarsi’ used colloquially. In formal contexts, prefer the native verb ‘accedere’ as in this phrase. Remember that using the polite ‘Lei’ form would change the imperative to ‘Acceda al suo account…’ for a more formal audience.
