Questions & Answers about Il ragazzo dai capelli castani e ricci ha un tatuaggio e una cicatrice.
Why does the sentence use dai capelli instead of con i capelli for "with brown hair"?
How is the word dai formed in this sentence?
Dai is an articulated preposition, which just means it is a preposition merged with an article. Here, it combines the preposition da with i, which is the masculine plural definite article needed for capelli.
I thought "brown" was marrone. Why does this sentence use castani?
The word cicatrice ends in -e, so how can I easily remember that it takes the feminine article una?
