Questions & Answers about Quali strategie usano i nostri avversari?
Why is it quali and not quale here?
What is the singular form of strategie?
Why is the verb usano placed before the subject i nostri avversari?
In Italian questions, it is very common to invert the word order and put the subject at the end of the sentence. The literal structure here is "Which strategies use the our opponents?".
Why is there an i before nostri avversari? Doesn't nostri already mean "our"?
Yes, but unlike English, Italian almost always requires a definite article (like il, la, or i) right before a possessive word. So instead of just "our opponents", you must say i nostri avversari (literally "the our opponents"). The main exception is with singular family members, but opponents don't count!
