me...la...cavo
(pronominal verb) (present) (io) I get by Pronominal verbs are verbs mixed with pronouns. They often end in –sene, -sela, -cisi. volerci – to take (as in time, effort, etc.) – cavarsela – to manage, to get by – avercela – be angry or upset by someone – trovarcisi – to find oneself – dormirsela – to sleep soundly The ‘se’ is actually the pronoun ‘si,’ but it changes to ‘se’ because it is preceding another pronoun. Any time any of the pronouns mi, ti, si, ci or vi come before another pronoun, like the ‘ne’ of andarsene, they change to me, te, se, ce or ve. The formula for conjugating a pronominal verb is as follows: Reflexive verb pronoun + Pronominal particle + Conjugated verb = Conjugated Pronominal Verb In the case of "cavarsela" in compound tenses the past participle of "cavare" ends in "a" because it is preceded by the pronoun "la". Therefore " me la sono cavata" = I got by
