Italians describe routines in present tense for habitual actions

Like Hindi, Italian uses present tense for regular habits: 'Ogni giorno vado in biblioteca' (Every day I go to the library). The word 'ogni' (every) is your trigger for present habitual. Italian mornings start with colazione leggera (light breakfast) — Indian students often need to adjust to the smaller breakfast culture.
