Example sentences using: città
Mi piace la tua città.
I like your city.
This is a simple sentence expressing a positive feeling about someone else's city. In Italian, the possessive adjective (in this case, 'tua' for 'your') agrees in gender and number with the noun it modifies ('città').
Vivo in una città piccola.
I live in a small city.
This sentence uses the preposition 'in' to indicate location. Also, the Italian word order typically places adjectives (like 'piccola' for 'small') after the noun they modify ('città').
La città è molto affollata oggi.
The city is very crowded today.
In this example, we see that the adjective ('affollata' for 'crowded') comes after the noun ('città'). The use of 'molto' before the adjective is to intensify its meaning, similar to the use of 'very' in English.
