SWE 137 Top 4 languages in the world

ESSERE lo usiamo per esprimere:
l’esistenza: noi siamo esseri umani
 la qualità: il caffè è freddo
 la condizione di un oggetto : il tavolo è sporco
la condizione di una persona: Lucia è alta
stato d'animo: Antonio è allegro
origine : Lisbona è in Portogallo
professione: Ahmed è un ingegnere.  
-Il verbo essere con la particella CI, allora significa esistere; essere presente; avvenire...
in senso figurato la stessa espressione vuol dire "aver capito".
 Ad esempio:  -Alla conferenza c'era il professor Archibugi (c'era= era presente) 
-Oggi c'è lo sciopero dei metalmeccanici (avviene) 
-È arrivata la risposta dal direttore: finalmente ci siamo! ( siamo arrivati a una conclusione) 
-Il pomodoro è stato introdotto in Europa dagli Spagnoli, Giulio ci sei? ( hai capito?)

STARE : 
per esprimere una condizione fisica e psicologica temporanea, invece del verbo sentirsi: -Ciao Julia, come stai?(come ti senti) 
-Sto un po' male(mi sento un po' male) 
con il significato di restare, rimanere in un luogo: 
-Cosa fate nel fine settimana? Stiamo a casa a vedere una serie tv 
-Il giudice stava riflettendo mentre l'avvocato parlava in difesa del suo cliente. 

Seguito da alcuni aggettivi, il verbo stare descrive  comportamento o  stato d’animo di una persona e si usa in frasi  con un ordine o un’esortazione: 
-Luca stai buono per favore e ascolta la lezione come gli altri studenti 
-Stai più calmo! Così non risolverai il problema 
"Starci" lo utilizziamo invece nell'accezione di
 essere d’accordo:  Ex: Domani andiamo al mare? Ci sto
 essere disponibile Ex: Ci stai domani alle sette per un aperitivo?
 entrarci (avere abbastanza spazio) Ex: Venite che ci stiamo tutti per la cena. 

Similitudini tra essere  e stare: 
essere è l’ausiliare sia di se stesso, sia di stare; "stato" è il participio passato sia di essere sia di stare; quindi i tempi composti  sono identici.
-Possiamo usare con entrambi (essere/stare a dieta, essere/stare calmo, essere/stare in silenzio ecc…).

Verbo "essere" o verbo "stare": quale scegliere?

SWE 115 Why I love italki language study (Intermediate English)

Nissan has begun testing its new self-driving car on the streets of Yokohama.

The Japanese carmaker has been testing a Nissan LEAF prototype that uses its own self-driving technology.

During testing, the vehicle traveled on the busy roads of Japan's second largest city, close to the company's offices.

Nissan said the vehicle was able to predict the behavior of pedestrians, change lanes, and decide when it was safe to enter an intersection.

The prototype has 14 cameras, 10 radars and six sensors, and there was a safety driver in the driver's seat during testing.

This vehicle has more of this equipment than previous versions, according to Nissan, and has a number of sensors on the roof.

The company wants to release self-driving cars in 2027 and plans to do more tests this year in other busy parts of Yokohama.

It said that self-driving vehicles could help to make it easier for older people to get around towns and cities.

Japan is getting ready to have self-driving technology on its roads. The government changed its traffic laws last April to make this possible.

And according to a Kyodo News survey from the start of 2024, 36 of the country's 47 prefectures are thinking about using self-driving technology on their buses.

Many of the country's bus companies have had problems finding drivers and they have had to reduce bus services because of this.

Self-driving buses would help with this problem, but people are still worried about the safety of the new technology.

A self-driving bus service began in Fukui prefecture in 2023 but this was stopped after one of the buses collided with a bicycle.
