Grammatica Centrale Quick Guide #5 — L'articolo determinativo

Il, lo, la, i, gli, or le? This colorful quick guide introduces the Italian definite article and explains how to choose the correct form based on gender, number, and the beginning of the noun.

It also goes beyond the basic forms to show when Italian uses the definite article—and when it doesn’t. Learn about articles with geographical names, newspapers, days of the week, surnames, cities, idiomatic expressions, and more, with clear examples and illustrations featuring Giulia.

An especially useful reference for beginning Italian learners who want to understand not only which article to use, but when to use one at all.
