Italian Possessives Question
Posted: Mon Jul 19, 2021 5:54 pm
Hi, I'm a beginner Italian student and struggling with some of the possessive plurals. Specifically, why it's "le sue forbici" and not "i suoi forbici"? It's confusing because I thought the articles needed to match the nouns, and usually the "-i" (suoi, nostri, etc.) ending would be used. Are there certain words that break the rule or am I missing something?
Also, the plural formal "Suo/Sua/Sue" versus "le/la Loro" when talking about two or more people in possession of something is giving me the same issue. I hope these questions make sense - grammar has always been hard for me when studying languages.
