Questions & Answers about Le sedie non sono di plastica.
Why is there no word for 'made' in the Italian sentence?
In Italian, you don't need a verb like 'made' to describe a material. You simply use the preposition di (meaning 'of') right before the material. So, di plastica directly translates to 'made of plastic'.
Can I just say 'le sedie plastiche' like we say 'the plastic chairs' in English?
Why isn't it della plastica instead of just di plastica?
When you use di to say what material something is made out of, you usually drop the definite article (the word for 'the'). You just use di plus the raw material noun.
Why does non come before sono?
