Ciao!
In this episode we'll look at when to use "un", "uno" and "una" as the unspecific article for nouns.
:)
...
un - standard masculine:
un libro
un treno
un giorno
uno: 4 main cases: before z, s+consonant, ps, gn.
z: uno zio, uno zucchero
s + consonant: uno sport, uno spaghetto, uno spettacolo
gn: uno gnomo
