Study Tips

Italian uses definite articles with possessives for family members in plural: "le mie sorelle" but NOT in singular: "mia sorella".

Many family terms have both masculine and feminine forms: fratello/sorella, nonno/nonna, zio/zia.

The word "parente" means "relative", not "parent" — a classic false friend!
