Adam: Doc, this root canal isn't nearly as bad as I thought it would be. Root canal. hah!
Woman: Boy, he's out of it. That gas really kicked in quickly.
Doc: I haven't given him any yet.
Adam: Miei denti sono i miei amici!
DOC TOON With all your experience with altered states, I think you ought to do a public service announcement concerning Nitrous Oxide and NUC COFFEE. The public has a right to know about the possible drug interaction. Super powers and laughing gas has ruined many a dentists office.
I’m like the Italian version of a Grammar Nazi. In fact, I’m a Grammar Gestapo. Thus is my qualm: only family members are allowed to be spoken of without an article before the possession - i.e. mio fratello - but everything, family member or no, always have an article before the possession if it is plural or if there’s an adjective describing the thing in question - i.e. il mio fratellino - so the line really should be “I miei denti sono i miei amici”. Thank you for your time, this incident has been filed with the proper authorities and will be instantly notified if there is another breach of grammar.
To Fancycakes: If you think about it, his teeth really are family. He has known them longer than his wife and only a little less longer than his parents. So leaving out the article there may be perfectly ok. And I agree with threeguysmom, you are funny. Hai un bellissimo (weekend) a partire da oggi.
I am just learning.

I have feared from some time that Adam is just - perhaps - a bit unhinged.

A simple case of mind over matter. What, no mind? Doesn’t matter.
