RE: linguistic thread
it's very difficult to clear your doubts because these are verbs that are used in so many different ways.
"Stare" is often a sort of "being" status. Sto bene. Sto male. But the way you are asking about in your question is in relation to places, right? As the difference between "stare a casa" and "rimanere a casa? It's very subtle, and you probably can use either way without rising any eyebrows, but I would say that "rimanere" imply that it's not what everyone else is doing or the natural way it is, it's like you are "not going" somewhere. If you says to me "oggi sto a casa" I don't think you had other plans, I think that is your plan for today, that you want to relax or you just have something to do at home. If you tell me "oggi rimango a casa" I will think you probably had to go somewhere, like to work or out with friends, but for special reason you are not doing that, you are staying at home. If you tell me "sono stato da Marco a cena" I will think that Marco probably invited your for dinner and you went at Marco's with the intention of having dinner with him, if you tell me "sono rimasto da Marco a cena" I'll probably think that you didn't expect to stay there for dinner, you just went to pay a visit and then the visit got longer than planned and you end up having dinner with him. So you "sei rimasto" instead of going away sooner. So I would say that the difference is that "rimanere" may imply a diversion from a plan, even if it's not always true. Perhaps it's better to say that it imply an alternative, that's why you say that it's temporary, and that's mainly correct. It's very interesting because I often don't know why I use one instead of the other, so I had to think a lot about it and I'm not sure I came up with a general rule, but I hope it can shed some light on the subject, anyway |
