Italian word game - Hi everybody, :)
let's try a game: it's a word game similar to other games you can find in other discusss. Instructions: Start with the last syllable (or the last 2 or three letters) of the previously posted word. First word: L'ALBERO (the tree, masculine) The next word should start with “RO” Please put determinative articles before nouns to indicate their gender. [quote] Example: la mano ( = the hand, feminine) – il nome (=the name, masculine) – il medico (= the doctor, masculine) – il codice (=the code, masculine) [/quote] Here are some explanations about articles: [quote] Remember: Masculine determinative articles singular: il, lo (eg. il cane – the dog, lo zucchero – the sugar) plural: i, gli (eg.i libri – the books, gli amici – the friends) notice that “lo” and “gli” articles have to be used only with nouns starting with: - a vowel, in that case lo becomes l' (elision): l'amore (the love) – gli alberi (the trees) - a “z”: lo zucchero (the sugar) - gli zii (the uncles) - an “s” + consonant: lo scambio (the exchange) – gli stracci (the duster cloths) Feminine determinative articles singular: la (la casa – the house) plural: le (le sedie – the chairs) notice that la becomes l' before nouns starting with a vowel: eg. l'anatra (the duck) – l'amica (female friend) [/quote] Carla :)) |
