Shopping & Money in Italian
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).
English | Singular (m) |
---|---|
my | il mio libro |
your | il tuo libro |
his/her/its | il suo libro |
our | il nostro libro |
your (pl.) | il vostro libro |
their | il loro libro |
Thankfully, the feminine counterpart looks very similar and just changes the -o ending to an -a.
English | Singular (f) |
---|---|
my | il mia casa |
your | il tua casa |
his/her/its | il sua casa |
our | il nostra casa |
your (pl.) | il vostra casa |
their | il loro casa |
Take note of the fact that loro does not change!
