Questions & Answers about L'assemblea condominiale può deliberare.

Why is it l'assemblea and not la assemblea?

Because assemblea begins with a vowel. In Italian, the singular feminine definite article la usually becomes l' before a vowel for smoother pronunciation.

• la casa
• la riunione
• l'assemblea
• l'idea

So l'assemblea simply means the assembly / the meeting.

What does assemblea condominiale mean exactly?

Assemblea means assembly, meeting, or gathering.
Condominiale is an adjective related to a condominio, which is a condominium / apartment building with shared ownership/common areas.

So assemblea condominiale means the meeting of the condominium owners/residents, often translated as:

• the condominium meeting
• the homeowners' association meeting
• the condo assembly

The exact English translation depends on context, but it refers to the formal meeting of the condominium members.

Why does condominiale come after assemblea?

In Italian, adjectives often come after the noun, especially when they classify or describe the type of thing.

So:

• assemblea condominiale = condominium assembly/meeting
• literally: assembly condominium-related

This is very normal in Italian. English often puts the equivalent adjective before the noun, but Italian commonly puts it after.
