Questions & Answers about Le sue guance sono gonfie e morbide.
Why is the plural of guancia spelled guance without an 'i'?
The translation says "His cheeks", but couldn't Le sue guance also mean "Her cheeks"?
Yes, absolutely! In Italian, possessive adjectives like sue agree with the thing being owned (the feminine plural guance), not the gender of the owner. Without extra context, this sentence could mean "His cheeks", "Her cheeks", or even formal "Your cheeks".
Since gonfie comes from the dictionary form gonfio, how does it become gonfie?
Does morbide mean "morbid"?
