Relexives and possessives

Hi All

Am looking at reflexsives and there is a notation there that in the possessive lesson there is a notation on body parts. Cannot find it under possessives. Could you please direct me to where it is. 

Thank you

Ciao Maxie,

I apologize for any confusion. It seems there might have been a mix-up in the information provided. Reflexive pronouns and possessive pronouns are related but distinct topics in Italian grammar.

Reflexive pronouns are used when the subject and object of a sentence refer to the same person or thing, indicating that the subject is performing an action on or for themselves. 

For example:

• ☛ Mi lavo le mani. (I wash my hands.) Here, "mi" is the reflexive pronoun indicating that the subject (I) is performing the action (washing) on themselves (my hands).
•  

On the other hand, possessive pronouns are used to show possession or ownership of a noun. They indicate to whom something belongs. 

For example:

• ☛ Questo è il mio libro. (This is my book.) Here, "mio" is the possessive pronoun indicating ownership of the book.
•  

Regarding the notation on body parts, it might be specifically referring to the usage of reflexive pronouns with body parts when expressing actions performed on oneself. 

For instance:

• ☛ Mi lavo i capelli. (I wash my hair.)
• ☛ Mi taglio le unghie. (I cut my nails.)
•  

In both cases, "mi" is the reflexive pronoun showing that the subject (I) is performing the action on their own body parts.

If you are looking for more information on reflexive pronouns or possessive pronouns, I can help clarify further or direct you to the appropriate lessons. Let me know if you have any other questions or if there's anything else I can assist you with.

Buona giornata! (Have a good day!)
