Questions & Answers about Pago l’abbonamento mensile della palestra con la carta.
Why is Pago used without io?
Italian often drops the subject pronoun because the verb ending -o already shows it’s first person singular. Adding io is not wrong, but usually unnecessary.
What is l’ in l’abbonamento?
It’s the definite article lo shortened to l’ before a vowel. So lo + abbonamento becomes l’abbonamento.
What role does mensile play and why does it come after the noun?
Why is della palestra used instead of di la palestra?
di + la contracts to della. Italian prepositions combine with definite articles: di + il = del, di + la = della, and so on.
Why include la in con la carta?
