piazzarsi

Posted on February 14, 2012 by Keith

Today’s Parola del Giorno is the pronominal verb, piazzarsi, which means to place, such as placing on a ranking or, with soccer, how one ranks on the ladder.  The past participle is piazzato; essere is used in compound tenses.  See the verb used below in its context:

Il Napoli spera di piazzarsi tra le prime cinque posizioni del campionato ma sta subendo un sacco di sconfitte e se continua così rischia di non riuscirci!

Naples hopes the place within the first five championship positions, but it is suffering a ton of defeats and, if it continues in this way, it risks not being able to make it.
