L'amministratore di condominio prepara il verbale dell'assemblea.

It is the definite article the, shortened before a vowel.

• il amministratore is not used
• before a vowel, the singular article becomes l'
• so you get l'amministratore

This happens with both masculine and feminine singular nouns:

• l'amico = the friend
• l'ufficio = the office
• l'assemblea = the meeting/assembly

The apostrophe shows that a vowel has been dropped.

Amministratore di condominio is the normal set expression for the role or profession: condominium/building manager.

Using di + noun like this often describes what kind of person or thing it is:

• insegnante di inglese = English teacher
• scarpe da tennis = tennis shoes
• amministratore di condominio = condominium manager

By contrast, amministratore del condominio would usually sound more like the manager of the condominium, referring to a specific building/condo.

So:

• amministratore di condominio = job/role
• amministratore del condominio = manager of this particular condominium

Because the subject is l'amministratore, which is third person singular.

The verb is preparare = to prepare. In the present tense:

• io preparo
• tu prepari
• lui/lei prepara
• noi prepariamo
• voi preparate
• loro preparano

So l'amministratore prepara means the administrator prepares.

Depending on context, the English translation could be:

• prepares
• is preparing

Italian simple present often covers both ideas.

Here, verbale is a noun, not an adjective.

In this context, il verbale means:

• the minutes
• the official written record
• the report of a meeting

So il verbale dell'assemblea means the minutes of the meeting/assembly.

This is a common false friend for English speakers, because English verbal usually means spoken. Italian verbale can sometimes be an adjective too, but in this sentence it is clearly a noun.

Because it comes from di + l'assemblea.

Step by step:

• assemblea is a feminine singular noun
• its definite article is l' before a vowel: l'assemblea
• di + l'assemblea contracts to dell'assemblea

So:

• il verbale dell'assemblea = the minutes of the meeting

This kind of contraction is very common in Italian:

• di + il = del
• di + lo = dello
• di + la = della
• di + l' = dell'
• di + i = dei
• di + gli = degli
• di + le = delle

Because Italian normally uses an article with a specific singular countable noun.

Here, il verbale refers to a specific document: the minutes.

So:

• prepara il verbale = prepares the minutes
• prepara un verbale = prepares a set of minutes / a report

Without an article, prepara verbale would not be standard Italian.

The normal, neutral order is:

subject + verb + object

So:

L'amministratore di condominio prepara il verbale dell'assemblea.

That is the most straightforward version and the best one to learn first.

Italian can change word order for emphasis, though. For example:

• Il verbale dell'assemblea lo prepara l'amministratore di condominio.

This puts more focus on who prepares it.

So the order is flexible, but the original sentence is the standard, neutral pattern.

In Italian, condominio refers to a building or housing arrangement with individually owned units and shared common areas. In everyday use, it often means something like:

• condominium
• apartment building under shared ownership
• sometimes, by extension, the residents' building association

So amministratore di condominio is the person who handles administration for that kind of building: payments, meetings, maintenance matters, official records, and so on.

Usually:

L'amministratrice di condominio prepara il verbale dell'assemblea.

Here:

• amministratore = masculine
• amministratrice = feminine

So if you know the person is female, amministratrice is the normal feminine form.
