Class, today we’ll revise Italian adjectives!

April 17, 2015 by Daniel

It’s long been clear to me that Italian adjectives need to agree with the gender of their subject:

una ragazza bella

un ragazzo bello

But beauty is not everything in a relationship. There’s also the issue of desire. Ideally ‘una ragazza bella’ would also be

una ragazza attraente

or better still

una ragazza sexy!

That said, one can get bored with sex appeal, so an ideal combination would be

una ragazza sexy e intelligente

Back to the grammar for a moment, ‘ragazza bella’ is straightforward, right?

But what about adjectives like ‘attraente’, ‘sexy’ and ‘intelligente’?

How come they don’t end in -a, like ‘ragazza’?

And if I met a whole bunch of sexy, intelligent girls, what would the plural forms of these adjectives be??

Class, pay attention now.

Today we’re going to revise Italian adjectives

Remember being 10? The competition at school to get noticed? To have friends? To be popular? And how your parents’ advice on how to deal with your problems could be so off the mark?

Well that’s what ‘Il grande pesce rosso‘ isĀ about.
