How to Say ‘Who is your favorite player?’ in Italian

Chi è il tuo giocatore preferito?

kee eh eel TOO-oh joh-kah-TOH-reh preh-feh-REE-toh

[kee eh eel TOO-oh joh-kah-TOH-reh preh-feh-REE-toh]

💬 Usage Tip: Italian says [the your favorite player], so you usually need the article before a possessive: [il tuo giocatore], [la mia squadra]. The main common exception is close family in the singular, like [mia madre].
