The inflection of determinatives is complex, specially because of the high number of elisions, but is similar to the neighboring languages.
Catalan has more contractions of preposition + article than Spanish, like dels ("of + the [plural]"), but not as many as Italian (which has sul, col, nel, etc.).

Central Catalan has abandoned almost completely unstressed possessives (mon, etc.)
in favor of constructions of article + stressed forms (el meu, etc.),
a feature shared with Italian.
