Questions & Answers about L'amministratore di condominio convoca l'assemblea condominiale.

Why is there l' before amministratore and assemblea?

Because both words begin with a vowel.

In Italian, the singular definite article becomes l' before a vowel:

• l'amministratore = the administrator
• l'assemblea = the assembly/meeting

For amministratore, this is the masculine singular article used before a vowel.
For assemblea, it is the feminine singular article used before a vowel.

This shortening is called elision and is standard in Italian.

Why is it l'amministratore and not un amministratore?

L'amministratore means the administrator: a specific, identifiable person.

Here the sentence is talking about the particular administrator connected to that condominium, not just any administrator in general.

Compare:

• l'amministratore di condominio = the condominium/building administrator
• un amministratore di condominio = a condominium/building administrator

So the definite article makes the role specific.

Why does Italian say di condominio instead of del condominio?
