Today's Parola del Giorno is the verb, lamentarsi, which means to complain.  

Here are some usage notes on the verb:

  • Use the preposition di (or per) when you want to complain about something or someone.

  • Use the preposition con when you want to complain to someone.  

See our example below:

La mia amica si lamenta tutto il giorno del suo ragazzo e dice che non lo sopporta più. Si sfoga con me tutti i giorni però le ho detto che dovrebbe lamentarsi con lui, non con me.

My friend complains about her boyfriend all day, and she says she cannot stand him anymore.  She pours her heart out to me every day, but I told her she should complain to him, not to me.
