Elizabeth Soto asked 24 Sep 11Is this the correct way to use suo/mio
Questo è il suo padre? Si, questo è il mio padre. Also how do you say, "Is that" as in "is that your father."

Remember what I said about "possessive adjectives". ;)
You don't have to use "IL".
"Questo è tuo padre?"
OR
"È questo tuo padre"
[ More emphasis on one specific person ]
---
"Sì, questo è mio padre"
OR
"Sì, è questo mio padre"
[ More emphasis on one specific person ]
OR just
"Sì, è mio padre"
[ "Questo" is omitted ]
---
"Is that your father?"
->
"Quello è tuo padre?"
OR
"È quello tuo padre?"
[ More emphasis on one specific person ]

Look here: http://www.moltobenei.../>
- You're talking about relatives?
[ YES ]
NO article
[ YES - Augmented word ]
Article on the left of the personal pronoun
[ NO ]
Article on the left of the personal pronoun
---
Just an addition:
If you use "Papà" [ Dad - mostly used by children or if you're talking directly to your father ] instead of "Padre" and "Mamma" [ Mom - mostly used by children or if you're talking directly to your mother ] instead of "Madre", you can use the article.
e.g.
Quello è il mio papà
Quella è la mia mamma

Sorry, I copy-pasted the answer from the other thread and the errors are still there. :/
Where I said "personal pronoun" I meant "possessive adjectives". ;)
