I made the mistake of using "Uno" when the correct word is "Un". Is "Uno" ever correct as an article?
"uno" is used if the subject begins with the letter z, or s + a consonant; for example, uno zaino, or uno studente.
Uno is a indeterminativo article for the male name. English is not my first langue, because I am italian. Indeterminativo is an italian word
This distinction between 'il' and 'un' is killing me. Maybe it should start with plurals v. singular to teach the distinction.
il = The (ill ragazzo: The boy), Un = A ( Un ragazzo: A Boy), and also Un = One (Un ragazzo: One boy) I think im right.
Una is feminine as in una ragazza...where as un is masculine as in un ragazzo...in the English language we just say "a boy or a girl" we don't attach feminine or masculine to the word "a"... But in Italian they attach feminine or masculine to it.
I don't no maybe unO would be confusing beacause its the Spanish word for one

It's a compound preposition: a + gli. "A" means "to" and "gli" is the plural for "lo", so it means " the" (pl.). Thus, "agli" means "to the".
Actually, it can also be the plural for "aglio", which means "garlic", but it's uncommon to use it in plural form.
when '' the'' comes before a femenine noun such as woman, donna, or girl, ragazza always use la you have to use ragazza, instead ragazzo, ragazzo is used to refer to masculine gender.
Perché "una" è la femminile e invece "ragazzo" è maschile per questo caso,"Una ragazzo" è la forma sbagliata.Inveve la forma giusta è "un ragazzo"Spero che abbia capita.
Un and una can mean either a or an, correct? Im have trouble knowing when to use un and when to use una.
During the lesson you can click on "Tips & Notes" in the top right corner for an explanation.

You use that with both masculine and femenine singular nouns starting with a vowel. It means "the" since it's derived from either lo or la.
