Concise Oxford Paravia Italian Dictionary © 2009 Pearson Paravia Bruno Mondadori spa e Oxford University Press:
its /ɪts/ When translating its, remember that in Italian possessives, like most other adjectives, agree in gender and number with the noun they qualify, not as in English with the possessor they refer to; its is translated by suo + masculine singular noun (its bone = il suo osso), sua + feminine singular noun (its cage = la sua gabbia), suoi + masculine plural noun (its whiskers = i suoi baffi), and sue + feminine plural noun (its legs = le sue zampe). - The above examples also show that Italian possessives, unlike English ones, are normally preceded by an article. determ. suo;
the cat hurt ~ paw il gatto si fece male alla zampa;
the house and ~ garden la casa e il giardino;
what was ~ value? quanto valeva?
