Work and the office
Connect meetings, teams, deadlines, reports, and clients.
Understand the choice
Work vocabulary becomes useful through workflow: discuss a compito in a riunione, respect a scadenza, write a rapporto, and send it to a cliente or gruppo.
Core rule: Mandare takes a direct item and a + recipient; rispettare una scadenza and svolgere un compito are common pairings.
Notice it in context
Dopo la riunione mando il rapporto al gruppo.
After the meeting I send the report to the team.
Dopo la riunione sets time; rapporto is direct object; al gruppo is recipient.
La scadenza di questo compito è venerdì.
The deadline for this task is Friday.
Scadenza and compito define the due date.
Nel lavoro da casa parlo ogni giorno con colleghi e clienti.
When working from home I speak daily with colleagues and clients.
Lavoro da casa frames the setting; colleghi and clienti are partners.
What to remember
- Collega has the same singular form for a male or female colleague; articles distinguish it.
- Rapporto can be report or relationship; relazione overlaps both in different contexts.
Common trap: Do not translate attend a meeting with attendere; partecipare a una riunione means attend.
