Italian term

periodo ipoteco

Italian to English Other Linguistics In A Journal Article
Contesto:

La frase "ipotetica", o "condizionale", esprime un’ipotesi o una condizione perché un fatto, un evento, espresso nella reggente, si realizzi. Esempio: La squadra avrà un premio se vincerà la partita. La frase reggente è detta anche "apodosi" e la dipendente "protasi". Insieme formano il "periodo ipotetico".

Molte Grazie,

Barbara
