Adjective Rules
Term | Definition |
---|---|
Italian adjectives | Agree with numbers and genders of the nouns they modify |
Masculine | Singolare: -o Un ragazzo alto Plurale: -i due ragazzi alti |
Feminine | Singolare: -a una ragazza alta Plurale: -e una ragazze alte |
Adjectives ending in -ca, -ga, and -go maintain the hard "c" or "g" sound, just as nouns do | This sound is represented by adding an "h" Ex: bianca-> bianche lunga-> lunghe lungo-> lunghi |
Most adjectives ending in -io have only one "i" in the masculine plural | Ex: vecchio->vecchi grigio->grigi |
Some adjectives precede the noun instead of following it | Ex: altro-> another/other molto-> many/ a lot of stesso-> same bello, buono, bravo, brutto, nuovo, vecchio |
