Siediti
SYEH-dee-tee
[SYEH-dee-tee]
💬 Usage Tip: For [tu] commands, Italian often tacks the object onto the end: [siedi] becomes [siediti] for "sit down." You'll see the same pattern in [fermarti], [girati], [calmati].
🇮🇹 In Italy: This is an informal command, so it assumes closeness or instant ease. In flirting, tone matters a lot: playful invitation, not bossiness.
