POSSESSIVE ADJECTIVES and POSSESSIVE PRONOUNS are usually compound forms which include a definite article that cannot be translated into English.
2
The forms of the possessive adjective are: MascMasc.Fem.Fem. singularpluralsingularplural il mioi mieila miale mie il tuoi tuoila tuale tue il suoi suoila suale sue il nostro i nostrila nostra le nostre il vostroi vostrila vostrale vostre il loroi lorola lorole loro
3
possessives agree in gender and number with the thing possessed, rather than with the possessor: i miei amici = my friends la loro automobile = their car
4
If ambiguity results from the use of possessives, possession may be expressed by means of "di" with a disjunctive pronoun: la sua valigia = his/her/ your suitcase la valigia di lui= his suitcase
5
If the possessor is also the subject of the sentence, "proprio" may be used. Giovanni porta la propria valigia (John carries his own suitcase)
6
"Proprio" MUST be used after impersonal expressions: Bisogna portare le proprie valige (One must carry one's own pieces of luggage.)
7
When referring to articles of clothing and parts of the body, the definite article is regularly used instead of the possessive adjective: le scarpe = her shoes la testa = his head
