Have you written \u201cchi ce?\u201d and felt that something was missing? Or perhaps you have wondered whether you should write \u201cche c\u00e8\u201d or \u201cche c\u2019\u00e8\u201d?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is a common doubt for people learning Italian because, in spoken language, the difference may not always be obvious. In written Italian, however, <strong>ce<\/strong> and <strong>c\u2019\u00e8<\/strong> are both correct forms, but they have different grammatical functions, while <strong>c\u00e8<\/strong> is always incorrect. Let\u2019s see how to distinguish them and solve common doubts such as <strong>che ce o che c\u00e8<\/strong> and <strong>chi ce o chi c\u00e8<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"simpletoc-title\">Table of Contents<\/h2>\n<ul class=\"simpletoc-list\">\n<li><a href=\"#ce-or-ce-which-form-is-correct\">C\u2019\u00e8 or c\u00e8: which form is correct?<\/a>\n<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#when-do-you-write-ce-without-an-apostrophe\">When do you write ce without an apostrophe?<\/a>\n<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#che-ce-o-che-ce-how-should-you-write-it\">Che ce o che c\u00e8: how should you write it?<\/a>\n<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#chi-ce-o-chi-ce-pay-attention-to-the-meaning\">Chi ce o chi c\u00e8: pay attention to the meaning<\/a>\n<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#why-does-ce-need-both-an-apostrophe-and-an-accent\">Why does c\u2019\u00e8 need both an apostrophe and an accent?<\/a>\n<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#ce-and-ci-sono-an-easy-way-to-avoid-mistakes\">C\u2019\u00e8 and ci sono: an easy way to avoid mistakes<\/a>\n<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#how-to-remember-the-difference-between-ce-and-ce\">How to remember the difference between ce and c\u2019\u00e8<\/a>\n<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n<h2 id=\"ce-or-ce-which-form-is-correct\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>C\u2019\u00e8 or c\u00e8: which form is correct?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you are wondering <strong>C\u2019\u00e8 o c\u00e8<\/strong>, the answer is simple: the correct form is <strong>c\u2019\u00e8<\/strong>, with both an apostrophe and an accent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>C\u2019\u00e8<\/strong> comes from the combination of \u201cci\u201d and \u201c\u00e8\u201d:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>ci + \u00e8 = c\u2019\u00e8<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The word \u201c\u00e8\u201d is the <strong>third person singular<\/strong> of the present indicative of the Italian verb <em>essere<\/em>, meaning \u201cto be\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cC\u2019\u00e8 qualcuno alla porta.\u201d<br>\u201cThere is someone at the door.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cC\u2019\u00e8 ancora del pane?\u201d<br>\u201cIs there any bread left?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In these sentences, <strong>c\u2019\u00e8<\/strong> indicates that someone or something exists or is present. <strong>C\u00e8<\/strong>, on the other hand, is not a correct Italian spelling: the accent alone is not enough because the apostrophe is also required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"when-do-you-write-ce-without-an-apostrophe\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>When do you write ce without an apostrophe?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Ce<\/strong> is also correct, but it has a different grammatical function. You can find it in sentences such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cCe la possiamo fare.\u201d<br>\u201cWe can do it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cCe ne sono abbastanza.\u201d<br>\u201cThere are enough of them.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cNon ce lo hanno detto.\u201d<br>\u201cThey didn\u2019t tell us.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The difference becomes clearer if we compare \u201c<strong>C\u2019\u00e8<\/strong> una soluzione\u201d with \u201c<strong>Ce<\/strong> la possiamo fare\u201d. In the first sentence, we are saying that a solution exists. In the second, <strong>ce<\/strong> is part of a pronominal construction. Therefore, the two forms cannot be used interchangeably.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"che-ce-o-che-ce-how-should-you-write-it\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Che ce o che c\u00e8: how should you write it?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The doubt <strong>che ce o che c\u00e8<\/strong> can only be solved by considering the meaning of the sentence. If you want to ask what is happening, you should write:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cChe <strong>c\u2019\u00e8<\/strong>?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Depending on the context, this can mean \u201cWhat\u2019s happening?\u201d, \u201cWhat is it?\u201d or \u201cWhat\u2019s wrong?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cChe c\u00e8?\u201d is incorrect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Ce<\/strong>, however, can be correct in a different construction, for example: \u201cCredo che <strong>ce ne<\/strong> siano ancora\u201d, meaning \u201cI think there are still some left\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, if by <strong>che ce o che c\u00e8<\/strong> you mean \u201cWhat\u2019s happening?\u201d, the correct Italian spelling is <strong>che c\u2019\u00e8?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"chi-ce-o-chi-ce-pay-attention-to-the-meaning\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Chi ce o chi c\u00e8: pay attention to the meaning<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The same principle applies to <strong>chi ce o chi c\u00e8<\/strong>. If you want to ask who is present, you should write:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cChi <strong>c\u2019\u00e8<\/strong>?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cChi c\u2019\u00e8 in ufficio?\u201d<br>\u201cWho is in the office?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cChi c\u2019\u00e8 alla porta?\u201d<br>\u201cWho is at the door?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The form \u201cchi c\u00e8?\u201d is always incorrect, while \u201cchi ce\u201d cannot replace <strong>chi c\u2019\u00e8<\/strong> when you are asking who is present.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"why-does-ce-need-both-an-apostrophe-and-an-accent\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Why does c\u2019\u00e8 need both an apostrophe and an accent?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In <strong>c\u2019\u00e8<\/strong>, the apostrophe and the accent have two different functions. The apostrophe indicates the elision of the final \u201ci\u201d in \u201cci\u201d, while the accent belongs to \u201c\u00e8\u201d, the <strong>third person singular<\/strong> of the present indicative of <em>essere<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The transformation is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>ci + \u00e8 \u2192 c\u2019\u00e8<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is why neither \u201cc\u00e8\u201d nor \u201cce\u2019\u201d is correct.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"ce-and-ci-sono-an-easy-way-to-avoid-mistakes\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>C\u2019\u00e8 and ci sono: an easy way to avoid mistakes<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A practical method for recognising <strong>c\u2019\u00e8<\/strong> is to change the sentence from singular to plural.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cC\u2019\u00e8 un libro sul tavolo.\u201d<br>\u201cThere is a book on the table.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">becomes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cCi sono due libri sul tavolo.\u201d<br>\u201cThere are two books on the table.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If <strong>c\u2019\u00e8<\/strong> can naturally become \u201cci sono\u201d, this is a good indication that you are using the correct form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pay attention to agreement as well. You should not write \u201cc\u2019\u00e8 molte persone\u201d, but <strong>\u201cci sono molte persone\u201d<\/strong>, meaning \u201cthere are many people\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"how-to-remember-the-difference-between-ce-and-ce\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How to remember the difference between ce and c\u2019\u00e8<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whenever you are unsure, ask yourself whether you are saying that someone or something <strong>exists, is present, or is somewhere<\/strong>. In these situations, you will generally need <strong>c\u2019\u00e8<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cC\u2019\u00e8 tempo.\u201d<br>\u201cThere is time.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cC\u2019\u00e8 Maria.\u201d<br>\u201cMaria is here.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cC\u2019\u00e8 qualcosa che non va.\u201d<br>\u201cSomething is wrong.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you find constructions such as \u201cce lo\u201d, \u201cce la\u201d or \u201cce ne\u201d, you will normally use <strong>ce<\/strong> without an apostrophe: \u201cCe lo dici?\u201d, \u201cCe la faccio\u201d, \u201cCe ne andiamo\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The basic rule is therefore quite clear: <strong>ce<\/strong> and <strong>c\u2019\u00e8<\/strong> are both correct Italian forms, but they perform different grammatical functions. <strong>C\u00e8<\/strong>, on the other hand, is never correct in standard written Italian.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Have you ever stopped while writing in Italian because you were unsure whether to use ce, c\u2019\u00e8, or c\u00e8?
