Quick Italian grammar question
 

When referring to the regions of Italy, such as Toscana, do you use articles, such as "la Toscana"? Thank you.

No, regions don't get articles because they are proper names, same thing with cities.
ciao!

Oh! One more thing, when referring to regions vs. cities, you are IN a region, you are AT a city, para esempio:
Io sono a Milano (I am at Milan)
Io sono in Toscana (I am in Tuscany)

Ask me more, I wanna show off!

The interesting this is that in some areas of Italy in the south..right now I am thinking of Molise..the older residents do use "la" in front of names including the names of people such as "la Anna".

Thanks Annika--watch out, I might take you up on that offer!

Thanks, LoveItaly.

Okay Annika, here's a question for you. Do the days of the week have a gender? I've just started a Begginer's Italian class and when my boyfriend asked me that question I didn't know what to tell him!

yes... days do have genders. la dominica is the only feminin but in most cases we don't use the article.
