    Adjectives are words which modify or describe nouns. Since they tell us about a noun, they must agree in number and gender with the noun they are describing.

    Numbers and adjectives which tell how many, precede the nouns they modify:

    tre arance = three oranges

    molti libri = many books

    troppo rumore = too much noise

    Adjectives of color always follow the nouns they modify:

    una casa rossa = a red house

    una penna gialla = a yellow pen

    Most other adjectives will follow the nouns they modify, but you will learn through conversation that some are flexible and may come either before or after the noun:

    una donna intelligente = an intelligent woman

    un uomo gentile = a kind man

    Adjectives ending in 'o' agree in both number and gender with the noun they modify. Adjectives ending in 'e' only agree in number:

    ragazzo alto = tall boy

    ragazzi alti = tall boys

    ragazza alta = tall girl

    ragazze alte = tall girls

    uomo forte = strong man

    uomini forti = strong men

    donna forte = strong woman

    donne forti = strong women
