Agreement Italian adjectives agree in gender and number with the nouns they modify. In Strutture 1A.1 you learned how to make nouns plural; adjectives change their final vowel in a similar way. © and ® 2011 Vista Higher Learning, Inc.

Adjectives whose masculine singular form ends in -o have four possible endings: -o (masc.) and -a (fem.) in the singular, and –i (masc.) and -e (fem.) in the plural. To refer to groups of mixed gender, use the masculine plural ending -i. Giorgio è contento. Giorgio is happy. Giorgio e Laura sono contenti. Giorgio and Laura are happy. Silvia è contenta. Silvia is happy. Silvia e Laura sono contente. Silvia and Laura are happy. © and ® 2011 Vista Higher Learning, Inc.

Adjectives that end in -e in the singular change to -i in the plural. Lucia è intelligente. Lucia is intelligent. Lucia e Roberto sono intelligenti. Lucia and Roberto are intelligent. © and ® 2011 Vista Higher Learning, Inc.

Most adjectives ending in -co, -ca, -go, and -ga require an h in the plural to maintain the hard sound of the c or g. Exceptions include the masculine plural adjectives simpatici and antipatici. È simpatica. She is nice. Le ragazze sono simpatiche. The girls are nice. È un amico tedesco. He is a German friend. Sono amici tedeschi. They are German friends. © and ® 2011 Vista Higher Learning, Inc.
