The most frequent word order is subject–verb–object but all the other orders are possible when there isn't any ambiguity: the inversions are commonly used to emphasise the first word. Examples are:  Like the Italian language, when a proclitic pronoun is used, however, this comes before the verb and the auxiliary:  The singular third person of the verb is preceded by a proclitic word ("el" for masculine subject, "la" for feminine subject: identical to definite articles) that remind the subject; the singular second person of the verb is preceded by a proclitic word ("te"). There might be, but it's optional, other proclitic words, like "a" in all the persons, or "i" in the plural third person:  Similarly to Italian, the subject can be tacit:  The Insubric definite article derives from a Latin distal demonstrative, "ille". It can vary according to the gender (feminine or masculine) and number (singular or plural) of the noun. The definite article takes the following forms: Like "the", the Insubric definite article is used with a noun referring to a specific item when both the speaker and the audience know what the item is. It is necessary in the following cases: Unlike "the", the definite article is also used with mass nouns and plural nouns with generic interpretation, and with abstract nouns. For example:  Besides, definite article is used in front of proper nouns:  Western Lombard is a synthetic fusional language. The Insubric indefinite article is analogous to the English indefinite article "a/an". Like "a/an", the Insubric indefinite article is used with a noun referring to a non-specific item, or to a specific item when the speaker and audience do not both know what the item is; so, "ho spaccaa ona cadrega rossa" ("I broke a red chair"). Unlike "a/an", the Insubric indefinite article has a plural form, often translated as "some" but usually simply omitted in English; so, "gh'hinn di liber laggiò" ("There are some books over there" or "There are books over there"). The indefinite article takes the following forms: Most of the masculine nouns and adjectives terminate without suffix. This is valid both for the singular and the plural form. Examples are:  Most of the feminine singular nouns and adjectives are formed by adding an "-a" as a suffix.
