Today we are back with a new Italian lesson 🇮🇹🇮🇹

First, remember that in Italian, every noun is either masculine or feminine so the definite article, ("the" in English), is either masculine singular, masculine plural, feminine singular or feminine plural.

Moreover, other rules about the correct use of the definite articles in Italian are:

*IL: for masculine singular nouns which start with a consonant.

i.e.: Il libro (the book) 📕

*L': for masculine singular nouns which start with a vowel.

i.e.: L' orologio (the watch)⌚

*LO: for masculine singular nouns which start with:
-s + consonant
i.e.: lo scontrino (the receipt)🧾

-z
i.e.: lo zaino (the backpack)🎒

-y
i.e.: lo yogurt (the yoghurt)🥛

-ps
i.e.: lo psicologo (the psychologist) 👨🏻‍⚖️

-pn
i.e.: lo pneumatico (the tyre) 🛞

-gn
i.e.: lo gnomo (the gnome) 🧝‍♂️

*I: for masculine plural nouns which start with a consonant.

i.e.: I libri (the books)📚
I vini (the wines)🍷🍷

*GLI: for masculine plural nouns which start with a vowel, s + consonant, z, y, ps, pn, x or gn.

i.e.: Gli aerei (the planes)✈️✈️
Gli studenti (the students)👨🏻‍🎓👩🏻‍🎓
Gli zaini (the backpacks)🎒🎒
Gli yogurt (the yoghurts)🥛🥛
Gli psicologi (the psychologists)👨🏻‍⚖️👨🏻‍⚖️
Gli pneumatici (the tyres)🛞🛞
Gli gnomi (the gnomes) 🧝‍♂️🧝‍♂️

*LA: for feminine singular nouns which start with a consonant.

i.e.: La penna (the pen) 🖊️

*L': for feminine singular singular nouns which start with a vowel.

i.e.: L' ape (the bee)🐝

*LE: for feminine plural nouns which start with a vowel or a consonant.

Today we are going to study how possessive adjectives and pronouns are used in Italian. 🇮🇹🇮🇹

First, to use Italian possessive adjectives correctly they need to coincide properly with gender (masculine/feminine) and in number (singular/plural) with the noun they refer to. So, they must agree in gender and number with the noun possessed and not with the possessor, like in English.

For instance, “hat” is masculine so it uses the masculine mio and miei:
-"My hat", in Italian is "il mio cappello";👒
-"My hats", in Italian is "i miei cappelli".👒👒
As you can see, possessive adjectives are almost always used with a definite article.

And what about the possessive pronouns? They are the equivalent in English to “mine”, “yours”, “his/hers/its”, “ours”, “yours” and “theirs” and they are exactly the same as the possessive adjectives!

For example: "This bag is mine" in Italian would be "Questa borsa è mia".👜
