Questions & Answers about La sua vita in città è molto tranquilla.
Does sua mean her because the person we are talking about is female?
Not exactly! In Italian, possessive adjectives like sua agree with the thing being owned, not the owner. La sua is feminine singular to match vita (life). So la sua vita could actually mean his life or her life depending on the context. Notice that you also need the definite article la before it!
The English translation says in the city. Why is there no word for the before città?
For certain common locations, Italian uses the preposition in without any definite article. Just like we say in town or in bed in English, Italians say in città (in the city), in banca (at the bank), and in classe (in class).
Since vita is a feminine noun, why didn't molto change to molta?
Why does tranquilla end in a?
