This leads me to a question. I have seen this feature in Italian, which
I don't speak (though it's cheesecake after Latin). E.g. : il mio Dio!
So, the question is, is this optional or required in Italian? I.e., can
I say Dio mio with different emphasis, or mio dio, or however they order those?

Carrajena even requires a definite article when a possessive pronoun is
present -- ul miu Dju = the my God, al tiu mama = the your mother, ils nostrus
parris = the our parents (or the our fathers).
