Questions & Answers about Mia zia e mio zio divorziano: il matrimonio è finito.

Since they are divorcing each other, why isn't it si divorziano?
Good catch! While you've learned that actions done to each other use reciprocal pronouns (like si sposano for "they get married"), the verb divorziare is an exception. It is not reflexive or reciprocal in Italian. You just say divorziano.
Why is it mia zia and not la mia zia?
As a quick refresher, Italian drops the definite article (il or la) before possessives when talking about singular, unmodified family members. That is why it is simply mia zia and mio zio.
Does matrimonio mean "marriage" or "wedding"?
It means both! In Italian, matrimonio can refer to the wedding ceremony itself or the ongoing state of being married. In this sentence, it clearly means "marriage."
Why is it è finito instead of ha finito?
When finire (to finish/end) has a direct object, like someone finishing a meal, it uses the helping verb avere (ha finito). But when an event simply ends on its own, like this marriage, it uses essere (è finito). You can also just think of finito here as an adjective meaning "over."
