Avere bisogno + di = “need to”

“Ho bisogno di sapere tutto!”
(I need to know everything!)

In Italian, the verb “avere bisogno” (to need) is always followed by the preposition “di”. This is because the preposition “di” indicates possession or belonging, and in this case, it expresses the idea of something that is needed or required.

“Avere bisogno di” can be followed by a noun or a verb.

When followed by a noun, it means “to need” or “to require” something. For example: “Ho bisogno di un nuovo telefono” (I need a new phone).

When followed by a verb, it means “to need to” or “to have to” do something. For example: “Ho bisogno di studiare per l’esame” (I need to study for the exam).

Here are a few more examples:

• Ho bisogno di aiuto. (I need help.)
• Abbiamo bisogno di soldi per pagare l’affitto. (We need money to pay the rent.)
• Lui ha bisogno di dormire otto ore a notte. (He needs to sleep eight hours a night.)
