Questions & Answers about Mi piacciono le tue labbra.
Wait, why is the plural word labbra ending in -a? Isn't -a usually for singular feminine words?
Since the singular is masculine and the plural is feminine, how do I know which possessive word to use?
Why do we use piacciono here instead of piace?
The verb piacere works backwards compared to English. You are literally saying that your lips are pleasing to me. Because the subject doing the pleasing (le tue labbra) is plural, the verb must be in the plural form: piacciono. If you were talking about a single lip, it would be Mi piace il tuo labbro.
Why do we need the article le before tue labbra? Don't we sometimes drop the article with possessives?
