It is pronounced roughly LEHD-jeh, with a strong gg sound like the j in judge, but doubled.
A useful thing to know: the double consonant matters in Italian.
So legge has a stronger, longer consonant sound than a single g would.
Also, legge is spelled the same as the noun meaning law, so context tells you which meaning it has:
In Italian, possessive adjectives usually go with a definite article.
So Italian normally says:
This is different from English, where we just say my application, not the my application.
A famous exception is with many singular family words:
But candidatura is not a family noun, so la mia candidatura is correct.
The normal, neutral order here is:
subject + verb + object + manner
But Italian word order is more flexible than English, especially for emphasis. For example, you might hear:
That kind of change adds emphasis or changes the flow, but the original version is the most straightforward and natural for a learner.
Not always. Grammatically, candidatura means candidacy or application, depending on context.
So it can refer to:
In this sentence, because of il responsabile della selezione, it is naturally understood as a job-related application.
