la mia email è
In Italian, 'my email is' is translated as la mia email è.
The phrase la mia email è is used to introduce and provide your own email address in both spoken and written contexts. You may also see the term mail used to mean 'email', and the term indirizzo email used to mean 'email address'.
What does it mean word for word?
The phrase literally translates to 'the my email is'. This is because Italian requires the definite article la (the) before possessive adjectives.
How does it change in a sentence?
Because email is treated as a feminine noun in Italian, the possessive adjective must be the feminine form mia and the article must be la.

- When reciting la mia email è aloud, Italians typically say the '@' symbol as chiocciola, which means 'snail'.
- The grave accent on the word è (is) serves a critical grammatical role, as removing it turns the word into e (and).
