How do you say this in Italian? I’m meeting my wife?
Do Italians always use the possessive pronoun? In this case Mia.... or would they ever say la moglie? Without the Mia?
Thought I read somewhere they don’t use the possessive as much as in English
Thanks in advance

The real question here is how to translate "I'm meeting" 🤔
Sono con mia moglie (I'm currently with my wife)
Mi vedo con mia moglie (I'm going out and will meet her)
Incontrerò mia moglie (I will meet her)
Sto uscendo con mia moglie (I'm having a date with her)
But yeah, "my wife" simply becomes "mia moglie": kinship terms don't use the article before possessive adjectives in their singular and basic form.

Obviously wrong
Explanation is not enough
Written in a language I can't understand
Answer is not related to the question
Other reason
- Italian
we use possessive pronons
-always, with kinship terms (without article)
-when we want specify: il mio insegnante di italiano, la mia parrucchiera, il mio gatto....
