Italian - Russian Dictionary
/la/
La is the Italian feminine singular definite article, equivalent to 'the'. In Russian, it translates to он, она, оно, or это depending on context and the gender/number of the noun it modifies.
| # | Type | Italian | Russian |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | pronoun | la subject — inanimate thing | он |
| 2 | pronoun | la subject — inanimate thing | она |
| 3 | pronoun | la subject — inanimate thing | оно |
| 4 | pronoun | la subject — inanimate thing | это |

La agrees in gender and number with the noun it precedes — use it only with feminine singular nouns. In Russian, the article is not expressed separately but reflected in adjective and verb agreement. English speakers should remember that Italian requires the definite article even when English might omit it (e.g., 'La vita è breve' = Life is short).
