Italian Grammar #13 - "bel", "bei", "begli": the endings follow the specific article!

Ciao! In this episode we'll look at the adjective "bello", "beautiful", and how the endings follow the pattern of the specific article! :) ... "bello" comes before the noun (it's "on the list"), and follows the pattern of the specific article. (il,lo,la,l' - i,gli,le).

Ex: il giorno - il bel giorno lo zio - il bello zio l'amico - il bell'amico la donna - la bella donna l'anima - la bell'anima i libri - i bei libri gli alberi - i begli alberi le cattedrali - le belle cattedrali

Try: the beautiful book the beautiful sister the beautiful studio the beautiful tree the beautiful appartments the beautiful boys/guys the beautiful girls the beautiful sports

Sentences: We have beautiful weather We have beautiful days They have a beautiful studio You (plural) have beautiful apartments

Note! If "bello" is after the noun, f.ex. with a modifier - it follows the standard ending: "bello", "bella", "belli", "belle".

Try: the very beautiful book the very beautiful studio the very beautiful appartments the very beautiful houses

Sum up: "bello" - when in front, endings follow pattern of specific articles, both sing./plural. When after; standard endings.

Excellent work! 😊
