"Tu indichi col dito."

[woolfool]

Doesn't this sentence mean: You point with the finger.

Where does it mean with YOUR finger?

How do you know when to use "col" or "con?"

[mukkapazza]

Col = con + il. Con is just con. If the determinative article is necessary, you can use col but it isn't mandatory and con il works fine as well. Col is just shorter and sometimes sounds better.

[die7fox]

Oh, okay. It didn't occur to me that it was a contraction. :-)

[Sassicat]

I don't think it's used much anymore

[RichardWil528737]

I'm a bit puzzled. Dito is masculine, but the plural dita seems to be feminine. Am I right? Or have I misinterpreted DL's guidance?

[BillRuppert]

You are correct, the plural is feminine.

[Warthog5]

Why, what do you point with?
