In this Q&A-style video, teachers Mark and Francesca from Coffee Break Italian answer learner Austin’s question about how to say 'my' in Italian. Why do we say "il mio gatto" but just "mio fratello"? These little words that we need to solve Austin's question are called possessive adjectives and, by the end of this video, you'll be able to use them with confidence!
Here are the phrases included in this video:
• Il mio gatto
• La mia tazza
• I miei gatti
• Le mie tazze
• Mio fratello
• Mia sorella
• I miei fratelli
• Le mie sorelle
Make sure you watch the full video to hear a full explanation about how to use possessive adjectives correctly. We've provided subtitles in English which can be turned on using the Subtitles/CC button.

Video favoloso: la lingua italiana è così potente da esprimersi e avere profonde radici della natura umana!. Excellent video: I lived twelve years in North America and now twenty in Great Britain as my little family was is English, for me tough, I learn different languages because...English is useful BUT not enough and has a very limited shelve life communication wise if you speak it i a country that do not speak it as a first or second official language. Each language does open commercial/cultural/work/folkloric/artisanal doors that others cannot! Also, as much as I like to use English of course being in the UK now or speaking it to folks that has it as a first language, I am noticing tough and can see as my predictions which usually becomes true in such matters, that more and more people have started since 2018-2019 not to choose English as a second language as a reflex to use it like the Lingua Franca right away but go for French, Spanish, Russian, German, Malay etc...which are per regions of the globe and for some, internationally, lingua francas themselves. Some folks also seem to go for specialized languages like Icelandic or Maltese or Farsi to open special historical and cultural doors ... Since Brexit (which I understand the reason for) and so many Trumpist extremists in the United States being there still, English will be used less around the world, by at least and indelibly -15%, by 2023-25. Also, in India, Hindi, not English, is both the most widely spoken first language and second language in India . While the number of native Spanish speakers in the United States is less than that of English speakers, Spanish is getting stronger there as, for now, there are 43,200,000 native speakers languages in that country. I speak French, English / American, some Mexican Spanish and I now go all the way to learn Italian correctly to a fluent level. It will take time indeed. Perché l'italiano? Sorprendentemente, è parlato da più di 67 milioni di madrelingua nell'Unione Europea (2020) e con parlanti L2 nell'Unione Europea: 13,4 milioni quindi circa un totale di 85 milioni di parlanti totali! Più così difficile, perché amo i cibi italiani, le opere, la storia dai romani agli esploratori come con esploratori come Cristoforo Colombo, Marco Polo e Amerigo Vespucci ecc ... Inoltre, la sua architettura e i suoi monumenti: l'Italia (e la Cina) è il paese con il maggior numero di siti UNESCO al mondo. Ci sono 55 siti del patrimonio culturale e naturale e altri 40 che hanno cercato di essere elencati, che costituiscono il 5% della lista del patrimonio mondiale dell'UNESCO. ADORO la fonetica italiana all'interno di un tono di canto. Per finire, si dice che l'italiano sia ancora il numero 4 al mondo nella lingua più studiata! sì, per quanto riguarda la difficoltà, è sicuramente più difficile dello spagnolo e del portoghese e anche rispetto ad altre lingue, ma ne vale la pena!

Grazie Mark e Francesca. Amo il vostro podcast. Ma si dice "il mio amico" o "mio amico"? Non e un parente ma un amico puo essere intimo come un fratello. Grazie!

Grazie!! I have been so confused why sometimes you need the article and sometimes you don’t. So are relatives the only exception?

Ciao! Possessive adjectives are introduced by articles except for singular nouns of relatives. For example: mio padre, tua zia, suo fratello, nostra sorella, etc. However, we use articles for plural nouns of relatives: i miei genitori, i tuoi nonni, i loro zii, le vostre cugine. Remember that when we use terms of endearment for relatives, we put an article before the possessive adjective, no matter if the noun is in its singular or plural form: il mio fratellone (my big brother), la sua sorellina (his/her little sister). Hope this helps! 😊

So when does "mio" come after the noun? I've seen that sometimes too. Is there a rule or just speaker's choice? Grazie!

Ciao! Thank you for your question In Italian we can place the possessive adjective after the noun with certain expressions. For example: è colpa tua! (It’s your fault!) - you can use any possessive adjective instead of tua. a modo mio (in my own way) casa mia (my house/home) mamma mia! (my goodness!) We hope this is useful. Let us know if you have a specific example that you would like us to explain. Happy Coffee Breaking!😁
