2.3 © and ® 2011 Vista Higher Learning, Inc Possessive adjectives and pronouns Possessive adjectives and pronouns indicate ownership, possession, or relationships. In Italian, possessive adjectives and possessive pronouns have the same forms, which include the definite article in most cases. —La tua casa? —Sì, la mia casa.

2.3 © and ® 2011 Vista Higher Learning, Inc Possessive adjectives and pronouns Possessive adjectives Possessive adjectives (gli aggettivi possessivi) usually precede the noun that they modify. They must agree in number and gender with the noun they modify, not the owner of the object. Ecco il mio palazzo. Here’s my apartment building. Dove sono i tuoi genitori? Where are your parents?

2.3 © and ® 2011 Vista Higher Learning, Inc Possessive adjectives and pronouns In Italian, there is no difference between his and her. Use the context to determine the meaning. Roberto non ha voglia di vendere il suo motorino. Roberto doesn’t want to sell his scooter. Fiammetta non ha voglia di vendere il suo motorino. Fiammetta doesn’t want to sell her scooter.

2.3 © and ® 2011 Vista Higher Learning, Inc Possessive adjectives and pronouns ATTENZIONE! To clarify, you may use di lui or di lei to indicate his or her(s). Ada è amica di lui, non di lei. Ada is his friend, not hers.

2.3 © and ® 2011 Vista Higher Learning, Inc Possessive adjectives and pronouns ATTENZIONE! When a preposition precedes the article used with a possessive adjective, combine the preposition and article as you normally would. Il mio telefonino è nella mia camera. My cellphone is in my room. Diamo questi fiori alle tue amiche. Let’s give these flowers to your friends.

2.3 © and ® 2011 Vista Higher Learning, Inc Possessive adjectives and pronouns The possessive adjective may be omitted in Italian when the relationship or ownership is obvious, such as when referring to body parts or clothing. Ho telefonato alla mamma. I called my mom. Mi lavo la faccia. I wash my face.

2.3 © and ® 2011 Vista Higher Learning, Inc Possessive adjectives and pronouns To express the idea of mine, of yours and so on, use an indefinite article, a number, or a demonstrative adjective with the appropriate form of the possessive adjective.

2.3 © and ® 2011 Vista Higher Learning, Inc Possessive adjectives and pronouns With the exception of loro, which always requires the definite article, possessive adjectives are generally used without the definite article when referring to singular, unmodified family members.

Our brother studies in Naples. butI nostri fratelli studiano a Roma. Our brothers study in Rome. Mia sorella ha ventotto anni. My sister is twenty-eight years old. butLa mia sorellina ha otto anni. My little sister is eight years old. Tuo cugino abita a Roma. Your cousin lives in Rome. butIl tuo cugino preferito abita a Perugia. Your favorite cousin lives in Perugia.

He prefers doing things his way. Vorrei farlo per conto mio. I want to do it on my own.

Michele’s neighborhood is calm, but yours is very noisy.

2.3 © and ® 2011 Vista Higher Learning, Inc Possessive adjectives and pronouns When the possessive pronoun follows the verb essere, the definite article is generally omitted.

È tuo questo telefonino? Sì, è mio. Is this cell phone yours? Yes, it’s mine. butÈ il tuo telefonino o il mio? Is that your cell phone or mine?
