    Dear Jerseygirl,

    possessive adjectives in Italian are usually placed before the noun. There are a few cases, however, in which they can be placed after a noun, for example after words like "colpa" (fault), "casa" (house), "camera" (room), "piacere" (pleasure), or in vocative expressions. Some examples are: È colpa sua (It's his fault); Vuoi andare a casa mia? (Would you like to go to my house?); Piacere mio! (My pleasure!)
