    riuscire a farsi valere

    Grammar & Usage

    verbal phrase
    neutral

    How it works

    Formed by the modal-like verb 'riuscire' followed by the preposition 'a' and the causative-reflexive structure 'farsi valere' (literally 'to make oneself count/worth'). The reflexive pronoun embedded in 'farsi' inflects to agree with the subject of 'riuscire' (e.g., 'riesco a farmi valere'). In compound tenses, 'riuscire' takes the auxiliary 'essere'.
