- Usage
- 'Durante' is a preposition that indicates a period of time over which an action or event occurs. It's used to specify when something happens, emphasizing that it takes place within a certain duration or continues for that entire duration.
La festa continua durante tutta la notte.
Imagine you are watching a movie. You can say: 'Ho mangiato i popcorn durante il film.' (I ate the popcorn during the movie.) This means you ate them at some point while the movie was playing, or perhaps even for the entire duration of the movie if you were snacking continuously. It's a very common and versatile preposition in Italian, similar to 'during' or 'throughout' in English. You'll hear it frequently when people talk about events, activities, or states that happen over a period of time.
Consider a historical event. You might say: 'Molti cambiamenti sono avvenuti durante il Rinascimento.' (Many changes occurred during the Renaissance.) Here, 'durante' links the changes to the entire historical period of the Renaissance. It helps to place events in their temporal context.
In everyday conversations, 'durante' is essential for specifying when things happen. For example, if you're talking about your work: 'Ho ricevuto molte email durante la giornata.' (I received many emails during the day.) This implies that the emails arrived at various times throughout the workday.
It can also be used with specific times or durations. 'Ho studiato durante tre ore.' (I studied for three hours.) While English might use 'for' here, in Italian, 'durante' can also convey this sense of duration, especially when emphasizing the continuous nature of the activity. However, for simple durations where the focus is on the length of time rather than the period itself, 'per' is often more common. The nuance is subtle but important.
Think about a holiday. 'Abbiamo visitato molti musei durante la nostra vacanza.' (We visited many museums during our vacation.) This clearly states that the museum visits took place within the timeframe of the vacation. It's a straightforward way to connect actions to a specific period.
Let's look at weather. 'Ha piovuto durante tutta la settimana.' (It rained throughout the whole week.) This emphasizes that the rain was continuous or occurred frequently over the entire week. The word 'tutta' (whole/all) often accompanies 'durante' to stress the entirety of the period.
In summary, 'durante' is your go-to preposition when you need to say something happened 'during,' 'throughout,' or 'over the course of' a specific time. It's a fundamental building block for describing when events unfold in Italian.
- Example 1
- Durante il viaggio, ho letto molti libri.
- Translation Hint 1
- During the trip, I read many books.
- Example 2
- Non ho dormito bene durante la notte.
- Translation Hint 2
- I didn't sleep well during the night.
- Example 3
- Cosa hai fatto durante il fine settimana?
- Translation Hint 3
- What did you do during the weekend?
Using 'durante' correctly involves placing it before the noun or noun phrase that specifies the time period. It's a simple structure that makes it easy to integrate into your Italian sentences. The preposition doesn't change its form; it remains 'durante' regardless of the noun that follows.
- Basic Structure
- durante + [time period noun/phrase]
Let's break down how it works with various time expressions:
- With Days of the Week
- 'Ho lavorato molto durante il lunedì.' (I worked a lot during Monday.) This implies that the work happened throughout that specific Monday.
- With Parts of the Day
- 'Mi piace camminare durante il pomeriggio.' (I like to walk during the afternoon.) This suggests an activity that is enjoyed throughout the afternoon period.
- With Seasons
- 'Le foglie cadono durante l'autunno.' (The leaves fall during autumn.) This describes a natural phenomenon that occurs over the entire season.
- With Events and Holidays
- 'Abbiamo mangiato troppo durante le feste natalizie.' (We ate too much during the Christmas holidays.) This covers the entire festive period.
- With Specific Time Durations (often with 'tutto')
- 'Ho studiato durante tutta la giornata.' (I studied throughout the entire day.) The addition of 'tutta' (all/entire) emphasizes the full duration.
You can also use it with abstract periods:
- With Abstract Periods
- 'Molte cose sono cambiate durante la sua vita.' (Many things changed during his life.) This refers to the entire span of a person's life.
The key is to remember that 'durante' introduces the timeframe within which something happens. It doesn't specify the start or end point precisely, but rather the continuous or encompassing nature of the activity within that period.
Ho dormito poco durante la settimana.
'Durante' is a workhorse preposition in Italian, appearing in countless everyday situations. You'll hear it in casual conversations, on the news, in movies, and when reading books. Its versatility makes it indispensable for expressing temporal relationships.
- Everyday Conversations
- When friends ask about your day: 'Cosa hai fatto durante il lavoro?' (What did you do during work?). Or when discussing weekend plans: 'Andiamo al cinema durante il fine settimana?' (Shall we go to the cinema during the weekend?).
- News and Media
- News reports often use it to describe events: 'Ci sono stati molti scioperi durante l'estate.' (There were many strikes during the summer.) Or discussing political developments: 'Le trattative sono andate avanti durante tutta la settimana.' (The negotiations went on throughout the whole week.)
- Travel and Tourism
- Tour guides might say: 'Durante la visita, vedrete il Colosseo.' (During the visit, you will see the Colosseum.) Or when sharing travel experiences: 'Abbiamo incontrato persone fantastiche durante il nostro soggiorno a Roma.' (We met fantastic people during our stay in Rome.)
- Education and Learning
- Teachers might explain: 'Leggete il capitolo durante la lezione.' (Read the chapter during the lesson.) Or students might say: 'Ho studiato molto durante le vacanze di Natale.' (I studied a lot during the Christmas holidays.)
- Cultural Events and Entertainment
- When discussing a concert: 'Il cantante ha interagito con il pubblico durante tutto il concerto.' (The singer interacted with the audience throughout the entire concert.) Or a play: 'C'è stato un momento di silenzio durante la rappresentazione.' (There was a moment of silence during the performance.)
- Historical Narratives
- 'Molte battaglie furono combattute durante la Seconda Guerra Mondiale.' (Many battles were fought during World War II.) This is a common way to frame events within historical periods.
Pay attention to how Italians use 'durante' in these contexts, and you'll quickly internalize its usage. It's one of those words that, once you start noticing it, you'll see and hear everywhere!
Abbiamo mangiato bene durante la cena.
While 'durante' is straightforward, learners sometimes make minor errors, often related to confusing it with similar prepositions or misplacing it in a sentence. Understanding these common pitfalls can help you avoid them.
- Confusing 'Durante' with 'Per'
- The most frequent confusion arises with 'per'. While both can indicate duration, 'per' is typically used to state the length of time an action lasts (e.g., 'Ho studiato per due ore' - I studied for two hours), emphasizing the quantity of time. 'Durante' emphasizes the period *within which* the action occurs (e.g., 'Ho studiato durante le vacanze' - I studied during the holidays). Using 'per' with a specific time period like 'il giorno' (the day) can sound awkward: 'Ho lavorato per il giorno' is incorrect; it should be 'Ho lavorato durante il giorno' or 'Ho lavorato tutto il giorno'.
- Using 'Durante' with Verbs Directly
- 'Durante' is a preposition and must be followed by a noun or noun phrase. You cannot directly attach it to a verb. For example, 'Durante mangiare' is incorrect. You would say 'Durante il pasto' (During the meal) or 'Mentre mangiavo' (While I was eating).
- Incorrect Placement
- While Italian word order can be flexible, 'durante' typically precedes the time phrase it modifies. Placing it after the time phrase is generally incorrect or very unnatural. For instance, 'Il film, durante ho dormito' is wrong. It should be 'Durante il film, ho dormito' (During the film, I slept).
- Overuse or Underuse
- Learners might either overuse 'durante' when another preposition or structure would be more natural, or they might avoid it altogether, leading to sentences that lack clarity about the temporal context. For instance, instead of saying 'Ho sentito rumore durante la notte', one might awkwardly say 'Ho sentito rumore la notte' which is less specific about the duration.
- Using 'Duranti' (Plural)
- 'Durante' is invariable; it does not have a plural form. You will never use 'duranti'. The preposition remains 'durante' regardless of whether the following noun is singular or plural. For example, 'Durante i giochi' (During the games) is correct, not 'Duranti i giochi'.
The best way to avoid these mistakes is to practice using 'durante' in various sentence structures and to pay attention to how native speakers use it. Reading and listening to Italian content will help you develop an intuitive feel for its correct application.
Ho studiato durante tutta la lezione.
While 'durante' is quite specific, other Italian words and phrases can sometimes convey similar meanings, depending on the context. Understanding these nuances helps in choosing the most appropriate word.
- 'Per' (For/Through)
- Difference: 'Per' often indicates the duration or length of time something lasts, focusing on the quantity of time spent. 'Durante' indicates the period within which something happens.
Example: 'Ho lavorato per otto ore.' (I worked for eight hours - emphasizes the length). 'Ho lavorato durante le otto ore.' (I worked during the eight hours - emphasizes that the work occurred within that specific timeframe, perhaps not continuously).
- 'Mentre' (While/As)
- Difference: 'Mentre' is a conjunction used to connect two clauses, indicating that two actions are happening simultaneously. 'Durante' is a preposition followed by a noun phrase.
Example: 'Ho studiato mentre ascoltavo la musica.' (I studied while I was listening to music - two clauses). 'Ho studiato durante la lezione.' (I studied during the lesson - preposition + noun phrase).
- 'Nel corso di' (In the course of)
- Difference: This phrase is very similar in meaning to 'durante' and is often interchangeable, especially in more formal contexts. It emphasizes the progression of time.
Example: 'Nel corso di due anni, ha imparato molto.' (In the course of two years, he learned a lot.) This is very similar to 'Durante due anni, ha imparato molto,' though 'durante' might be slightly more common in everyday speech.
- 'Attraverso' (Through/Across)
- Difference: 'Attraverso' typically refers to movement or passage through a physical space or a process. It's not usually used for temporal duration in the same way 'durante' is.
Example: 'Ho camminato attraverso il bosco.' (I walked through the forest - spatial). 'Ha superato le difficoltà attraverso il duro lavoro.' (He overcame difficulties through hard work - process).
- 'In' (In/At)
- Difference: 'In' is a very general preposition. When used with time, it often indicates a point in time or a period where something happens, but 'durante' specifies the entire span.
Example: 'Ci vediamo in serata.' (See you in the evening - a point or period within the evening). 'Ho studiato durante la serata.' (I studied during the evening - implies studying for a significant part or the whole evening).
In most basic contexts, 'durante' is the most direct and common translation for 'during' or 'throughout'. The other options are useful when you want to add a specific nuance, like simultaneity ('mentre'), the sheer length of time ('per'), or the progression of a process ('nel corso di', 'attraverso').
Ho dormito durante il viaggio in treno.

Both 'durante' and 'per' can relate to time and duration.
'Durante' indicates the time period *within which* an action occurs (e.g., 'during the day'). 'Per' often indicates the *length* of time an action lasts (e.g., 'for two hours'). Sometimes, 'per' can mean 'through' or 'throughout' in a spatial or temporal sense, but 'durante' is the standard for 'during'.
Ho studiato <strong>durante</strong> la notte (I studied during the night). Ho studiato <strong>per</strong> tre ore (I studied for three hours).
Both relate to simultaneous events or ongoing actions.
'Mentre' is a conjunction used to connect two clauses, indicating that two actions are happening at the same time (e.g., 'I was reading while listening to music'). 'Durante' is a preposition that introduces a noun phrase specifying a time period (e.g., 'during the lesson').
Ho dormito <strong>mentre</strong> guidavo (I slept while I was driving - incorrect and dangerous!). Ho dormito <strong>durante</strong> il viaggio (I slept during the trip).
Both can imply a passage or progression.
'Attraverso' primarily means 'through' in a spatial sense (e.g., 'walk through the forest') or figuratively through a process ('overcome difficulties through hard work'). 'Durante' specifically refers to the temporal span *within which* an event happens.
Abbiamo camminato <strong>attraverso</strong> il parco (We walked through the park - spatial). Abbiamo parlato <strong>durante</strong> la passeggiata (We talked during the walk - temporal).
Very similar meaning to 'durante'.
'Nel corso di' is a more formal phrase that means 'in the course of' or 'over the course of'. It is often interchangeable with 'durante', especially in written or formal contexts, but 'durante' is more common in everyday speech.

All relate to time.
'Prima di' means 'before', and 'dopo' means 'after'. They indicate points in time relative to an event, whereas 'durante' indicates the time *within* the event itself.
Ho studiato <strong>prima di</strong> dormire (I studied before sleeping). Ho studiato <strong>durante</strong> la notte (I studied during the night). Ho dormito <strong>dopo</strong> aver studiato (I slept after studying).

Visual Link
Visualize a timeline with a highlighted segment. The highlighted segment represents the period introduced by 'durante'.
Durante vs. Per
When in doubt between 'durante' and 'per', ask yourself: Am I talking about the period *within which* something happened ('durante') or the *length* of time it lasted ('per')?
Listen Actively
When listening to Italian, actively try to spot 'durante' and identify the time period it refers to. This will build your intuition.

The word 'durante' comes from the Latin word 'durans', which is the present participle of the verb 'durare'. 'Durare' means 'to last', 'to endure', or 'to continue'.
معنای اصلی: Continuing, lasting.

No specific sensitivities are associated with the use of 'durante'. It is a neutral preposition used in all contexts.
In English-speaking cultures, 'during' and 'throughout' serve similar functions. The key difference often lies in emphasis: 'during' can refer to any point within a period, while 'throughout' emphasizes the entirety of it. Italian 'durante' can often carry both nuances, especially when paired with words like 'tutto'.

'Durante' is a preposition used before a noun phrase (e.g., 'durante la cena' - during dinner). 'Mentre' is a conjunction used to connect two clauses, indicating simultaneous actions (e.g., 'Mentre mangiavo, leggevo' - While I was eating, I was reading).
