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.
