Adjectives a 2 uscite have 2 different forms.

These are the most common endings to all the adjectives of this group:

• -E  (for singular masculine and feminine)
• -I  (for plural masculine and feminine)

Adjectives a 2 uscite take the genere (masculine or feminine) and the numero (singular or plural) from the noun they are referred to.

Examples:
" Marco (singular masculine) ---> Marco è intelligent-E (singular masculine). "
" Lucia (singular feminine) ---> Lucia è intelligent-E (singular feminine). "
" Marco e Antonio (plural masculine) ---> Marco e Antonio sono intelligent-I (plural masculine). "
" Lucia e Sandra (plural feminine) ---> Lucia e Sandra sono intelligent-I (plural feminine). "

Attention:
If an adjective is at the same time referred to a masculine and a feminine noun it takes the plural masculine form.

Example:
" Marco (singular masculine) + Lucia (singular feminine) ---> Marco e Lucia sono intelligent-I (plural masculine). "
