The ending of Italian nouns depends on whether they are masculine or feminine and whether they are singular or plural.<\/p>\n

Nouns which end in -O<\/strong><\/span>, for example LIBRO<\/span>, are generally masculine and in the plural form end in -I<\/span><\/strong> (LIBRI<\/span>).<\/p>\n

Nouns which end in -A<\/strong><\/span>, for example CASA<\/span>, are generally feminine and in the plural form end in -E<\/span><\/strong> (CASE<\/span>).<\/p>\n

There are also nouns which end in -E<\/strong><\/span>, for example RISTORANTE<\/span>, and in the plural form end in -I<\/span><\/strong> (RISTORANTI). In this case the nouns can be masculine or feminine; therefore, to know what their gender is, you need to check the dictionary or memorize them together with their article.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
