Questions & Answers about Il mio sogno è speciale.
How do I pronounce sogno correctly?
The word sogno is pronounced SOH-nyoh, with the 'o' in SOH like the 'o' in 'not,' and the 'gn' in nyoh sounding like the 'ny' in 'canyon.'
Why do we say il mio sogno instead of just mio sogno?
In Italian, we usually use a definite article with possessive adjectives, so we say il mio sogno (my dream). One notable exception is for singular close family members, such as mia madre (my mother) or mio padre (my father), where the article is often dropped.
How can I tell that sogno is a masculine noun?
Most words ending in -o in Italian are masculine. Additionally, when you look them up in an Italian dictionary, they’ll be indicated with an m or the article il to show they are masculine.
Why does speciale end in -e rather than -o or -a?
In Italian, many adjectives ending in -e are invariable for both masculine and feminine singular forms. So speciale remains the same whether referring to a masculine noun (sogno) or a feminine noun.
Is there a difference between è and é in Italian spelling?
Yes. È with the grave accent is the third-person singular present tense of essere (to be), pronounced with an open 'e' sound, like EH. É with the acute accent can appear in other words (for example, perché meaning why or because). These two accents reflect different vowel sounds in Italian.
