Usage notes
- Always place 'mio' before the noun it modifies (e.g., 'mio libro'). Never after like in English ('the book of mine').
- Agrees in gender/number: 'mio' (m. sg.), 'mia' (f. sg.), 'miei' (m. pl.), 'mie' (f. pl.).
- Use 'di me' for emphasis or after prepositions (e.g., 'un amico di me' = 'a friend of mine').
