Questions & Answers about Le vostre scatole sono vuote?
Why do we need the word le before vostre?
In Italian, possessive adjectives almost always need a definite article in front of them. Since scatole (boxes) is feminine and plural, we use the feminine plural article le, followed by the matching possessive vostre. Literally, it is like saying "the your boxes".
How do I know if I should use le vostre or le tue for "your"?
Why does the adjective vuote end in -e?
Adjectives in Italian must match the noun they describe in both gender and number. The dictionary form is vuoto (empty), which is masculine singular. Because scatole is a feminine plural noun, the adjective changes its ending to match, becoming vuote.
Why doesn't the sentence start with sono (are)?
In Italian, you do not need to rearrange the words to ask a yes/no question. The statement "Your boxes are empty" and the question "Are your boxes empty?" have the exact same word order: Le vostre scatole sono vuote. You just raise the pitch of your voice at the end to make it a question!
