Let's look at the dialogue between Carla Conti and Karen Lee in formal Italian. |
When I read, I want you to pay attention to the email address, find what the email address is and see how it's used in the dialogue. |
Il suo indirizzo email, per favore. |
Your email address, please. |
Il mio indirizzo email è kappa-a-erre-e-enne-chiocciola-innolang-punto-com. |
My email address is karen@innolang.com |
Now let's look at the sentence pattern. |
This pattern is the structure that our dialogue follows. |
Il mio indirizzo email è [email address]. |
My email address is [email address]. |
Il mio, my in Italian, used to denote possession. |
è is it's a linking auxiliary verb in Italian used to connect the subject with the predicate. |
In the traditional Italian alphabet, there are only 21 letters. |
The extended alphabet also includes j, k, w, x and y. |
These five letters are often referred to as foreign letters. |
That's because they are mainly used to spare words and names that come from foreign languages. |
