Questions & Answers about Nessuno vuole rubare la tua vecchia macchina.
I thought Italian uses double negatives, like "non vuole nessuno". Why is there no "non" here?
What verb form do we use with "nessuno"? Is it always singular?
Why is it "la tua vecchia macchina" and not just "tua vecchia macchina"?
In Italian, possessive words like tua (your) almost always need a definite article (like il, la, i, or le) in front of them. The main exception is when talking about singular close family members (like mio padre), but for a car, you must include the la.
Why does the adjective "vecchia" come before the noun "macchina"? I thought adjectives go after the noun.
