aiutarti

Aiutarti is an Italian verb phrase formed by the verb aiutare (to help) combined with the clitic pronoun ti. The result, aiutar ti, is written as one word, aiutarti, and means “to help you.” The ti pronoun signals the second person singular informal you. In formal address, the corresponding pronoun would be La or Le, giving aiutarLa or aiutarLe when referring to Lei (formal you) or to multiple people.

Grammatical function and usage. Aiutarti functions as the infinitive form used after conjugated verbs, including modals and other tenses. For example: Posso aiutarti? (Can I help you?), Devo aiutarti a trovare una soluzione. (I must help you to find a solution.), Vorrei aiutarti. (I would like to help you.) Because the pronoun is attached to the infinitive, it can also appear in combinations with auxiliary verbs, as in Devo aiutarti a imparare l’italiano. With formal address, the pronoun attachment would yield aiutarLa or aiutarLe, depending on singular or plural, respectively.

Context and nuances. Aiutarti is a standard, everyday expression across informal and formal Italian when offering or requesting assistance. It appears in customer service, technical support, instructional materials, and casual conversation. The phrase emphasizes the act of providing aid directly to the person being addressed, rather than describing a general act of helping. As a grammatical form, it is one of the most common ways to link a helper action to its recipient in Italian.
