Questions & Answers about Studio italiano il mercoledì e il giovedì.

Why isn't the word for 'I' included before studio?
In Italian, the verb ending usually tells you who is doing the action. Since studio ends in -o, it already means 'I study.' You can drop the pronoun io unless you want to add special emphasis.
Why is italiano written with a lowercase letter?
Unlike English, Italian does not capitalize the names of languages, days of the week, or nationalities. So, the language is written as italiano, rather than with a capital letter.
Why is there an il before the days of the week? Doesn't that mean 'the Wednesday'?
In Italian, putting a definite article like il before a day of the week means the action is a regular habit. So il mercoledì translates to 'on Wednesdays' or 'every Wednesday.'
Why don't mercoledì and giovedì have plural endings if they translate to 'Wednesdays' and 'Thursdays'?
To say you do something every week, Italian uses the singular article il with the singular day of the week. Also, Italian words that end with an accented vowel, like the -ì in mercoledì and giovedì, never change their spelling in the plural anyway!
