Hi guys! Welcome back to my podcast! In today's episode, we’ll talk about how the word "Ecco" is used in Italian. You should know that "Ecco" is a word that Italians use a lot in everyday conversations. For this reason, I decided to discuss this topic with you. During the episode you'll hear a lot of examples. I'll report them in the description of this episode, take a look! It will help you better understand today's topic! Have a good time listening!
The word “Ecco” can introduce the appearance of something or somebody.
Examples:

[The parents appear]

A: When does the train come?
[The train is coming, they see it]
B: Oh, here is the train! (Oh, “ecco” il treno!)
“Ecco” can be used also with the direct pronouns (mi, ti, lo, la, ci, vi, li, le), depending on which person or thing is appearing
Examples:
A: When are going to be here?
[B appears]
B: Here I am! (Eccomi!)

Sometimes, the word “Ecco” is used to take time and think about what to say.

B: Well… actually, I don’t think I can… I have an important meeting… (“Well…” = “Ecco…”)
“Ecco” is used in some Italian expressions, such as:
- “Ecco perché”: means “that’s why”.
Example:

- “Ecco fatto”: means “I’ve finished”, “I’ve done what I had to do”.
Example:

[B turns it off]
B: Done! (Ecco fatto)!
- “Ecco cosa succede quando…”: means “these are the consequences when…”
