"I read books."
Translation:Leggo libri.

I dare not say for sure but I think it would have been equally correct to just write: "Io leggo libri/Leggo libri" as writing "Leggo i libri". Maybe someone who knows Italian can elaborate on this? Thx!
My boyfriend is italian and he says if you put leggo i libri...you are specifying the type of books vs just saying I read books. (Leggo libri) So you would most likely elaborate and say "I read the books by Shakespeare " vs "I read books" which is more general and without the word "the"
That is true for english but i'm not so sure it's true for italian
I was under the impression that a noun must always have an article with the exception of nouns for family. Can someone please elaborate? Possibly with a reference
When would you use "i" and not gli? Is there a difference between the two? I thought maybe "i" was feminine but I was wrong.
libri doesn't start with a vowel, gli for masculine when preceding vowels.
Its a little struggle to remember to put the leggono i libri than i leggono libri
does not make sence to me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
