CONCORDANCE OF THE ARTICLE

You are here: syntax > sentence > concordance > article

In Italian the article is a variable part.

The article can be:

• MASCULINE or FEMININE  (gender)
• SINGULAR or PLURAL  (number)

The article takes the gender and the number from the noun it's connected to.

Examples:
"IL bambinO è simpatico. "
"LA bambinA è simpatica. "
"I bambinI sono simpatici. "
"LE bambinE sono simpatiche. "
In these examples the article changes in relation to the noun’s gender and noun.

The article also changes in relation to the first letter of the noun it's connected to.

Examples:
"ILTavolo è grande. "
"L'Amico è simpatico. "
"LOSTadio è pieno. "
In these examples three singular masculine nouns have three singular masculine articles with different forms in relation to the first letter of the noun.
