How to use possessives in singular form

In Italian it's very common to include the definite article when using a possessive. So you might say: è il mio libro. Another way to use it, is by saying 'un' instead of 'il'. For example: un mio amico (a friend of mine).

Thankfully, the feminine counterpart looks very similar and just changes the -o ending to an -a.

Take note of the fact that loro does not change!
