Post with high apostrophized content What is this sign that is so mistreated, abused or ignored according to inspiration? Why is it omitted when necessary and widely used when it is better to do without it? The apostrophe seems to be one of those grammatical dilemmas in our language that gives more than one a hard time. With this brief apologetic discussion I will try, as far as I can, to shed light on the use - and sometimes non-use - of the apostrophe. Apostrophe on the indefinite article a Only if it is feminine and the following word begins with a vowel . Easy, right? Not by chance, since I keep reading "one opinion", "another" and so on.
Yet it doesn't take long to understand that "an opinion" comes from a truncation performed, without anesthesia but in an aseptic environment, on "an opinion". Once an “a” dies, an apostrophe is made. There are three (3) indefinite articles, two for boys and one for girls. Un : masculine, for words that begin with a vowel (un ass) or for those that Phone Number Data begin with the consonants b, c, d, f, g, l, m, n, p, q, r, s, t, v Uno : masculine, for some words that begin with s (such as stupid, slide, scranno, spit, etc.) and all those with a z Una : feminine, it is used for all words, shortening to un' if it precedes a word that begins with a vowel. Apostrophe on the abbreviation of little A little refresher never hurts, right? The only word that doesn't exist is "pò", but if you need to indicate a little of something, then truncate, again without anesthesia, that adverb and the final syllable "co" turns into an apostrophe.
The Po, however, with its liquidity, does not accept accents or apostrophes. He did it like this. Apostrophes on the verbs say, do, go, stare, give Say what you want Do something good Go where the wind takes you Stop Give kibble to the cat Why do all these gentlemen verbs have an apostrophe? Because they are present imperatives and once again we have cut off the words which, written in full, are "say", "do", "go", "stay" and "come on". Once an "i" dies, an apostrophe is made. Exactly like before. But don't ever, ever, dare to write "dì" (which exists, but means day), "fà" (which does not exist), "và" (idem), "stà" (idem) and "dà" (which exists, of course, and also in the same verb, but it is the third person singular of the present indicative: Pierino gives the teacher a pinch). If instead you want to urge Pierino to disrespect that poor woman, then you have to write "Pierino, give the teacher a pinch". But I decline all responsibility in this regard.
