Regular verb, ch, gh before e and i, gerund arrampicandosi, past participle arrampicato, auxiliary essere.
Mi, ti, si
The pronoun comes before the verb, mi arrampico, and before the auxiliary: mi sono arrampicato. It attaches to commands, arrampicati, and to the infinitive and the gerund. A ban to tu has two orders: non arrampicarti / non ti arrampicare.
Lei, the polite you, takes the form of lui / lei: Lei parla.
After essere, the participle agrees with the subject: andato, andata, andati, andate.
