How to say “Could you walk me through ...?” in Italian

Ask for a process to be explained step by step.

Potresti spiegarmi passo per passo …?

Could you walk me through …?

Name the process rather than the person who should literally walk.

Use it in three situations

  1. Learning a process

    Potresti spiegarmi il piano passo per passo?

    Could you walk me through the plan?

  2. Understanding a document

    Potresti spiegarmi il procedimento passo per passo?

    Could you walk me through the process?

  3. A team explanation

    Potresti mostrarmi come usare questo modulo?

    Could you show me how to use this form?

What to watch for

The expression requests an explanation; a literal walking translation can miss the meaning.

Read the whole expression before replacing a detail. The natural wording may use a different order or construction from the English sentence.

A note on speaking Italian

Use tu with friends and Lei with someone you address formally. A request with vorrei or potrebbe can soften the tone; it still helps to say what you need clearly. The examples label the situation so you can choose the appropriate relationship.

Read doubled consonants distinctly and keep the written accents. The English translation explains the intended message; Italian often chooses a different construction rather than matching each English word.
