What is 'monkey' when translated from English to Italian?

Answer 1

Scimmia in the feminine and scimmio in the masculine are Italian equivalents of the English word "monkey." The feminine singular noun (case 1) may be preceded by the feminine singular definite article la ("the") or indefinite una ("a," "an") whereas the masculine singular noun (exmaple 2) may follow the masculine singular definite article lo("the") or indefinite un, uno ("a," "an"). The respective pronunciations will be "SHEEM-mya" and "SHEEM-myo" in Italian.
