Unlike Italian, Neapolitan typically does not articulate prepositions in their sentences. For example in Italian, "Va allo zoo" or "He went to the zoo" with a + lo. There are several exceptions (noted below) where prepositions are articulated. Typically "d'" is used with words beginning with a vowel and "e" is used with words beginning with a consonant. "'n" and "'m" are used before words beginning with a consonant; so for example instead of the Italian "nel cielo" or "in the sky", there is "'ncielo." Similarly, "p" is used before words starting with vowels and "pe" before words beginning with consonants.
The following are exceptions for the lack
of articulation in prepositions:
