In Italian grammar, what are some transitive verbs?

Answer by  patti (29325)

A transitive verb (in any language) takes a direct object. "Paul reads a book" is an example; in "Paul read" the direct object is implied. In Italian: "Paolo legge un libro" or "Paolo legge." Any action word that requires an object to receive the action is a transitive verb. There are hundreds in Italian, too many to list here.

First you should understand what a transitive verb actually is. So, just in case you don't, it's a verb that requires some sort of object combined with it in order to make any sense as part of a sentence or phrase. Here are a few examples: portare (to carry), gustare (to enjoy), preferire (to prefer), negare (to deny).
