Italian GrammarShow Notes
Ciao! In this episode we'll look at the specific/definite forms of the articles in Italian - in both the singular and plural forms. :) ... For the singular: "il" - standard masculine "lo" - masculine, same as with "uno" (four cases: before z, s+consonant, ps, gn), plus before vowels. Ex: il giorno lo sport lo studente "la" - standard feminine: la casa la sera
If "lo" and "la" come before a vowel - we shortened both to " l' ": l'apartemento l'amico l'amica ..
For the plurals: "i" - standard masculine "gli" -same as with "lo": 4 main cases + vowels "le" - feminine Ex: i giorni i fiori gli amici le case
Self-testing - find article in singular, and article + noun ending in plural: cattedrale notte sera psicologo
Well done!
