Question 4

Bravo buono

Answer 4

Bravo - skillful,” “smart,” or experienced

1. As an adjective, only use bravo to describe people or animals. Never to describe objects or things.
2. Bravo + in + noun

3. Bravo + a + infinitive
   a. Sono bravo a sciare. “I’m good at skiing

Bene (well or very)

1. As an adverb, bene follows the verb it refers to. It is invariable.
   a. Lei scrive bene in francese. “She writes well in French.”
2. When bene modifies an adjective and not a verb, it precedes the adjective it modifies. It can mean “well” or “very,” and it is similar to the adverb molto. Notice that in this case, it loses the ending -e.
   a. Questo compito è ben fatto. “This homework is well done.”

4. Bene! E’ un buon lavoro! “Well done! Good job!”
5. We can use both bene and bravo to express ability: bravo as an adjective refers to the “skillful” person, while bene refers to the action.

   b. Sei bravo a parlare l’italiano.-“You are good at speaking Italian.”
