Learn basic rules, patterns and practice with a quiz<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>Italian nouns are a variable part of a sentence, meaning that they can be masculine, feminine, singular or plural, according to the object they describe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"gb-headline gb-headline-40f2978e gb-headline-text\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Nomi Propri<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>They are literally the &#8220;name&#8221; of a person or a place. We need a capital letter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Luigi<\/span><\/strong> \u00e8 un bravo ragazzo.<\/li><li>Andiamo a <strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Roma<\/span><\/strong>?<\/li><li>Il fiume <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Po<\/strong><\/span> \u00e8 il pi\u00f9 lungo d&#8217;Italia.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"gb-headline gb-headline-b816a378 gb-headline-text\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Nomi Comuni<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>They describe people or things. We can subdivide this large family of words in three groups:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"gb-headline gb-headline-26ff46fa gb-headline-text\"><em>Nomi Concreti<\/em>, describing tangible objects:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Ho comprato un <strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">telefonino<\/span><\/strong> nuovo.<\/li><li>Oggi c&#8217;\u00e8 un <strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">sole<\/span><\/strong> bellissimo!<\/li><li>Da piccolo avevo una vecchia <strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">bicicletta<\/span><\/strong> scassata.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Nomi Astratti<\/em>, describing intangible objects:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Ci vuole <strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">pazienza<\/span><\/strong> per imparare l&#8217;inglese.<\/li><li>Non capisco il perch\u00e9 di tanta <strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">fretta<\/span><\/strong>.<\/li><li>Il <strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">futuro<\/span><\/strong> \u00e8 incerto.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Nomi Collettivi<\/em>, singular and plural nouns describing a group of objects or people:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Il <strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">pubblico<\/span><\/strong> al concerto era festante.<\/li><li>Passando per la campagna, abbiamo visto un <strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">gregge<\/span><\/strong> di pecore.<\/li><li>Le <strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">stoviglie<\/span><\/strong> vanno lavate subito dopo il pranzo.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"gb-headline gb-headline-93f625f1 gb-headline-text\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Structure of Italian nouns<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Looking at the structure of Italian nouns, we can identify four groups:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Nomi primitivi &#8211; They are &#8220;root&#8221; nouns, from which other <em>sostantivi<\/em> come (also adjectives verbs and adverbs, not in the scope of this blog). For example, the word <em>terra, <\/em>earth, doesn&#8217;t come from another Italian word.<\/li><li>Nomi derivati &#8211; When we add a prefix or a suffix to primitive nouns or adjectives, we get other words, in our case other nouns. Terra \u2192 terreno, territorio, conterraneo etc.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Down below are two incomplete lists of prefixes and suffixes. Italian is obviously influenced by Latin and Greek, so many of the words you will see here are familiar to English speakers. I have omitted many Greek and Latin specific suffixes and prefixes of common use (psico-, meta-, eno-, -teca, -logia etc&#8230;).

class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Nomi composti &#8211; this is a large family of nouns made of two words. In this case it is important to follow some basic rules on how we build their plural. That&#8217;s pretty messy and Italians often make mistakes, so don&#8217;t worry too much about it. In detail:<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>** <em>nuon + noun<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the word is made of nouns having the same gender, we change the final noun. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Arcobaleno &#8212;-&gt; Arcobalen<strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">i<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the word is made of nouns having a different gender, we change the first noun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Pescespada &#8212;&gt; Pesc<strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">i<\/span><\/strong>spada<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>** <em>noun + adjective<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this case, they both change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Cassaforte &#8212;&gt; Casseforti<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>** <em>adjective + noun<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Change just the ending.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Altopiano &#8212;&gt; Altopiani<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>** <em>adjective + adjective<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Change just the ending.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Chiaroscuro &#8212;&gt; Chiaroscuri<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><em>** verb + noun<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This one is rather difficult. If the noun is plural or feminine, the plural is invariable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Il portacenere &#8212;&gt; I portacenere<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>L&#8217;asciugacapelli &#8212;&gt; Gli asciugacapelli<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the noun is masculine, the plural changes accordingly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Il copriletto &#8212;&gt; I copriletti<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><em>** verb + verb<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Those are invariable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Il dormiveglia &#8212;&gt; I dormiveglia<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>There are so many exceptions that I decided to not include them in this blog. For example, the plural of <em>pomodoro<\/em> can be <em>pomodori <\/em>(the most used) but also <em>pomidoro<\/em> and <em>pomidori<\/em>. Forget about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A last note on foreign words that are now part of the Italian vocabulary. They all have an invariable plural. For example, we say <em>un computer, due computer<\/em>; <em>un manager, due manager<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This includes Latin. There are of course many Latin words as part of the Italian language, but we should consider Latin as a sort of &#8220;foreign&#8221; language. The plural of <em>referendum <\/em>is therefore <em>referendum<\/em> and not <em>referenda<\/em>; the plural of <em>auditorium<\/em> isn&#8217;t <em>auditoria<\/em>. It&#8217;s common to use <em>Curricula<\/em> as plural of <em>Curriculum<\/em> (resume) even though it&#8217;s wrong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I hope you will find this useful in future. Please solve the quiz.
