Italian: calling for help with “Aiuto!”
“Aiuto!” calls for urgent help; add what you need next.
Ready to start.
Call for help and ask someone to call an ambulance.
Model answerAiuto! Chiami un’ambulanza, per favore.
How this works
Aiuto! gets attention in an emergency. Chiami is a polite singular instruction: “call.” Put the service you need immediately after it.
Build it piece by piece
- Aiuto!
- Help!
- Chiami
- Call (polite)
- un’ambulanza
- an ambulance
- la polizia
- the police
Una becomes un’ before the vowel in ambulanza.
Worked example
Now ask someone to call the police instead.
Aiuto! Chiami la polizia, per favore.
