✕Common Mistakes

The partitive article must be *dei* (plural) when the noun is plural; *di* alone is incorrect here.

Because the noun is plural, you need the plural form *peanuts* (or the Italian *noccioline*).

Before a vowel the article elides to *l'*; *il imballaggio* is grammatically wrong.

Cultural Tip
In Italian business communication, English loanwords like *peanuts* are increasingly accepted, especially for technical or niche items. However, in more formal or traditional settings you might prefer the native term *noccioline* or *gusci di arachidi*. Also remember the elision in *l'imballaggio* – never write *il imballaggio* before a vowel.
