2.  Come potete descrivere gli aggettivi indefiniti ?

3.  The name given to that class of adjectives or pronouns that are not really specified or quantified.  Examples in English include › some, something, someone, every, all, everything, everyone, and anything.  Today is Adjectives.

4.  An adjective appears with a noun › (e.g. some bread, every day)  a pronoun takes the place of a noun and can stand alone as the subject or object of the sentence › (e.g. everything is fine, I know someone who can help.)

5.  indicate indefinite beings or things in general.  The indefinite adjectives are divided into a few types:

6. Adjectiv e qualche some alcuni/e some di + article some ogni every tutti all tutto the whol e qualunque qualsiasi any Example qualche libro Some books alcuni libri Some books dei libri Some books ogni sera Every morning Tutte le sera Every evenin g Tutto il giorn o all day Qualunque film Any film

7.  what is the difference between qualche, alcuni/e, and di + article, (called the partitive), if they all mean some?......

8.  Qualche can only be used with singular nouns. Its ending does not change.  Qualche libro means some books, even though libro appears in its singular form.

9.  Alcuni/e is only used with plural nouns and it has two forms: › alcuni for masculine nouns, (like libri) › alcune for feminine nouns, (like ragazze).  Qualche and alcuni/e mean precisely the same thing.  Just be sure you have agreement between nouns and adjectives: › (sing. noun --> qualche, plural noun --> alcuni).

10.  Qualche and alcuni › can only be used with nouns you can count (e.g. friends, books, etc.)

11. . But what about the many uncountable nouns, (including many foods like milk, butter, wine, meat) and abstract nouns such as time and love?  e.g. del latte, del burro, del vino, della carne, del tempo libero, della pazienza, etc.  You may use di + article with countable nouns too, but only in the plural (e.g. degli amici, dei libri, etc.).

12.  Ogni and tutti both mean every or all,  distinction between them is similar to the one mentioned above: › Ogni is reserved for singular nouns (e.g. ogni sera), and it is invariable, meaning its ending does not change between genders. › Tutti/e = used with plural nouns and ends in -i before a masculine noun  (e.g. tutti i giorni) and -e before a feminine noun (e.g. tutte le sere).  Note that with tutti, the definite articles (i/gli or le) are used after it, unlike with ogni: (Ogni studente but tutti gli studenti).

13.  Tutto › singular form is used with singular nouns to mean all or the whole › tutto il giorno = the whole day, all day long; tutta l'acqua = all the water, etc.  Its endings change (-o or -a), to agree with the noun in gender.

14.  invariable (their endings don't change),  they can be used interchangeably to mean any in the sense of "Any day is good for me": › qualsiasi giorno va bene per me.

15.  invariable adjectives with only a singular form (and are only adjectives)
