Today we're going to talk about a group of verbs, aka doing words, that you'll come across all the time in Italian.

Warning, they're very annoying, but it would be nearly impossible to have a simple conversation without them.

They're the irregular verbs, a tricky group which doesn't follow the usual rules.

Hi everyone and welcome to learn Italian with Joy of Languages.

The name irregular verb sounds kind of scary, like it belongs in a boring grammar book, probably because it does.

Most verbs in Italian follow a predictable pattern, like maniare, which means to eat, I eat is manjo,

you eat is manji, etc. And we change the ending in predictable ways, but irregular verbs follow

different patterns and they can be a bit annoying to learn so the key is to

approach them with a lot of patience and practice. For this reason we repeat

them a few times here to help you get familiar with some of the forms so that

you'll be able to start recognizing and using them naturally in conversation.

We use irregular verbs to talk about stuff that we do all the time but in and using them naturally in conversation.
