C'è
Monday February 20, 2006
It's one of those all-purpose, essential Italian terms heard frequently. And then there's the famous saying: Chi c'è c'è, chi non c'è non c'è.
The expression c'è means "there is," and ci sono (plural of c'è) means "there are." These expressions are used to indicate where somebody or something is located:
C'è una chiesa. (There is a church).
Ci sono due chiese. (There are two churches.)
The word ecco also means "here is/here are" or "there is/there are," but is used to draw attention to or point out something out. For example: Ecco Stefano! (Here is Stefano!)

Shouldn’t it be:
example:
mi chiamo
ti chiami
si chiama
ci chiamiamo
vi chiamate
si chiamano-something
so shouldn’t it be “si sono” and not “ci sono”?
