### Definition

Determiners are words that modify [nouns](NOUN) or noun phrases and
express the reference of the noun phrase in context. 

The `DET` tag includes _quantifiers_ (words
like _molti_ "many", _pochi_ "few", _diversi_ "several"). 
_Cardinal numerals_ however (_uno_ "one", _cinque_ "five", _cento_ "hundred") have their own tag [NUM]().

Predeterminers (or addeterminers) are also tagged `DET`. For example:
_<b>Tutti</b> gli amici_ "<b>All</b> the friends".

### Examples

Tagged as `DET`:

- definite articles: _il, lo, la, gli_ "the"
- indefinite articles: _un, uno, una_ "a, an"
- possessive determiners: _mio, mia_ "my", _tuo, tua_ "your", _suo, sua_ "his, her, its", _nostro_ "our", _loro_ "their"
- demonstrative determiners: _questo_ "this" as in _Ho visto <b>questa</b> macchina ieri._ "I saw <b>this</b> car yesterday."
- interrogative determiners: _quale_ "which" as in _<b>Quale</b> macchina ti piace?_ "<b>Which</b> car do you like?"
- relative determiners: _quale_ "which" as in _Mi chiedo <b>quale</b> macchina ti piace_ "I wonder <b>which</b> car you like."_
- indefinite, quantity and negative determiners: _ogni_ "any", _tutti_ "all", _alcuni_ "some", _nessuno, nessuna_ "no" as in _Non abbiamo <b>nessuna</b> macchina disponibile_ "We have <b>no</b> car available."_
