Punto di partenza

,
animal, place, thing, or idea. As in English, Italian nouns are singular or plural. All Italian nouns also have gender, even those that refer to objects; they are either masculine or feminine.

To form the plural of most Italian nouns, you need to change the final vowel. The masculine ending
-o
becomes
-i, and the feminine ending -a becomes -e. Regardless of gender, singular nouns ending in -e change the vowel to -i to form the plural.singular
