Common Mistakes

  • Può prenotare online sul nostro sito.

    Use *Puoi* for informal 'you'; *Può* is the formal form and changes the register.

  • Puoi prenotare online sulla nostro sito.

    The article must agree with the masculine noun *sito*; *sulla* is used with feminine nouns.

  • Puoi online prenotare sul nostro sito.

    Placing *online* before the infinitive is acceptable, but the most natural order is after the infinitive.

Alternatives

  • È possibile prenotare sul nostro sito web.

    It is possible to book on our website.

    You can make the reservation online on our site.

  • Prenota subito sul nostro sito.

Cultural Tip

In Italy, many businesses still accept phone or in‑person bookings, so offering the online option is seen as a convenience rather than a replacement. When speaking to older customers, you might prefer the more formal *Può* instead of *Puoi* to show respect.
