Ciao a tutti i miei cari amici!\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Today we are going to talk and discover some camping vocabulary in Italian. Just like in the USA, camping is a popular pastime in Italy. Wild camping is forbidden in national parks, however, so if you ever want to camp make sure you find a dedicated campsite.<\/p>\n

The verb to camp in Italian, accamparsi<\/em>, is reflexive. Literally it means “to camp oneself.” Here are the reflexive pronouns: mi, ti, si, ci, vi, si.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

When conjugating a reflexive verb, you drop the si\u00a0<\/em>and then you conjugate it as you would a regular verb – by again dropping the ar<\/em>\u00a0and adding the correct ending. In the past tense, reflexive verbs always take ‘essere<\/em>‘ as their helping verb. Let’s see this in action:<\/p>\n

Mi accampo<\/em> – I camp (myself)<\/p>\n

Ti accampi<\/em> – You camp (yourself)<\/p>\n

Si accampa<\/em> – He\/She camps (himself, herself)<\/p>\n

Ci accampiamo<\/em> – We are camping (ourselves)<\/p>\n

Vi accampate<\/em> – You all are camping (yoursevles)<\/p>\n

Si accampano<\/em> – They are camping (themselves)<\/p>\n

We could also say “accampiamoci!”<\/em> to say “let’s go camping!” but literally “let’s camp ourselves!” Grammatically, this is a command, and that is why the ci<\/em>\u00a0goes at the end of the verb.<\/p>\n

Now, let’s look at this verb in the past tense.<\/p>\n

Mi sono accampato\/a<\/em> – I camped (myself)<\/p>\n

Ti sei accampato\/a\u00a0<\/em>– You camped (yourself)<\/p>\n

Si \u00e8 accampato\/<\/em>a – She\/He camped (himself\/herself)<\/p>\n

Ci siamo accampati\/e<\/em> – We camped (ourselves)<\/p>\n

Vi siete accampati\/e<\/em> – You all camped (yourselves)<\/p>\n

Si sono accampati\/e<\/em> – They camped (themselves)<\/p>\n

You may have noticed the o\/a or i\/e – that is because since the verb uses essere<\/em> as the helping verb, the past participle needs to make agreement with the gender and number of the subject! So depending upon if the subject is masculine singular (o), feminine singular (a), masculine plural (i), or feminine plural (e).<\/p>\n

And here is some vocabolario:\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Il sacco a pelo<\/em> – sleeping bag<\/p>\n

Il campeggio<\/em>\u00a0– campsite<\/p>\n

Il binocolo<\/em> – binoculars<\/p>\n

La bussola<\/em>\u00a0– compass<\/p>\n

La corda<\/em>\u00a0– rope<\/p>\n

Uno zaino<\/em> – a backpack<\/p>\n

Un’accetta – <\/em>a hatchet<\/p>\n

Un cappello da baseball – <\/em>a baseball cap<\/p>\n

Una cartina – <\/em>a map<\/p>\n

Una torcia elettrica – <\/em>a flashlight<\/p>\n

Un thermos – <\/em>a thermos<\/p>\n

Le scarpe da trekking – <\/em>hiking shoes<\/p>\n

La borraccia<\/em>\u00a0– water bottle<\/p>\n

Una tenda – <\/em>a tent<\/p>\n

La repellente per zanzare – <\/em>mosquito repellant<\/p>\n

Un fal\u00f2 –<\/em> a campfire<\/p>\n

Il fornellino da campeggio<\/em> – camp stove<\/p>\n

I\u00a0fiammiferi<\/em>\u00a0– matches<\/p>\n

Un coltellino svizzero-\u00a0<\/i>a Swiss army knife<\/p>\n

Un kit di pronto soccorso <\/i>– <\/i><\/b>a\u00a0first aid kit<\/p>\n
