In Italian there are separate forms for the suffixed personal pronouns, and when used with a verb in the imperative or infinitive, these suffixed forms are incorporated into the verb; thus they say *rispondetemi* "answer me," *parlategli* "speak to him," *datele* "give her," *imaginarlo* "to imagine it," *offriteci* "offer us." Double suffixes are also used, as *assicuratemene* "assure me of it," *dateglielo* "give it to him," *mandateglielo* "send them to him."
