Cultural Tip
In Italian the imperative 'controlla' is informal; for a formal request you would say 'Controlli la sua email di conferma.' Also note that 'email' is treated as feminine, so the correct article and possessive are 'la' and 'tua' (or 'la sua' in formal speech). Some regions may use the anglicized plural 'le email', but the singular form remains 'l'email'.
