to hear and to listen?
need some help plz. When would i use sentire (to hear)and ascoltare(to listen) in a italian sentence?
Ciao afunnykorean,
The verb "ascoltare" means "to listen" (as to pay auditive attention" to something) while "sentire" is the translation of "to hear".
For example:
-Io ascolto la musica
(I listen to music)
-Ieri ho sentito gli uccelli cantare
(Yesterday I heard the birds singing)
I hope this helps !
All the best for your Italian learning!
