Buongiorno cari studenti di Love Accademy. (Good Morning beloved students of LA). Please accept my apologies if we are starting our Italian classes with delay. La vostra professoressa è un po' occupata questi giorni, ma adesso cominciamo la lezione. (Your prof. is kinda busy these days, but now we are going to start the lesson).

Before we start grammar i want to present Italy first.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Italy is located on the Italian Peninsula in Southern Europe, and on the two largest islands in the Mediterranean Sea, Sicily and Sardinia. It shares its northern Alpine boundary with France, Switzerland, Austria and Slovenia. The independent states of San Marino and the Vatican City are enclaves within the Italian Peninsula, while Campione d'Italia is an Italian exclave in Switzerland.Italy has been the home of many European cultures, such as the Etruscans and the Romans, and later was the birthplace of the universities and of the movement of the Renaissance, that began in Tuscany and spread all over Europe. Italy's capital Rome was for centuries the center of Western civilization; it also spawned the Baroque movement and seats the Catholic Church. It possessed a colonial empire from the mid-nineteenth century to the mid-twentieth century.

Today, Italy is a democratic republic and a developed country with the 8th-highest Quality-of-life index rating in the world. It is a moveable feast of seemingly endless courses. Rome bristles with reminders of its Imperial past; Florence and Venice are virtually outdoor museums; Naples is full of Baroque bombast and Palermo locals view their Byzantine-Norman treasures with a shockingly laissez-faire attitude. But Italy’s riches extend far beyond the obvious. Ski in chic Courmayeur or climb the snow-coated peaks of the Dolomites; strap on your boots and take to the Tuscan hills or don designer shades and island hop around Sicily; sleep in converted farmhouses and dine in country kitchens on food so good you’ll swear no other cuisine compares.

Lesson 2: Sostantivi (Nouns)



In Italian nouns have 2 genders: Masculine and Feminine, and 2 numbers: Singolar and Plural.
Most masculine nouns end in -o and they take the plural form by ending in -i while most feminine nouns end in -a and they become plural when they end in -e.

Example:
Maschile - Plurale
Gatto (Cat) - Gatti (Cats)
Ragazzo (Boy) - Ragazzi (Boys)
Letto (Bed) - Letti (Beds)

Femminile - Plurale
Anatra (Duck) - Anatre (Ducks)
Ragazza (Girl) - Ragazze (Girls)
Porta (Door) - Porte (Doors)

There are some masculine and feminine nouns that both end in -e. They also form their plural form by ending in -i.
Example:
Maschile - Plurale
Fiore (Flower) - Fiori (Flowers)
Cane (Dog) - Cani (Dogs)
Pesce (Fish) - Pesci (Fish)

Femminile - Plurale
Madre (Mother) - Madri (Mothers)
Canzone (Song) - Canzoni (Songs)

Most nouns that come from foreign languages are masculine and they do not hae the plural form.
Example: Bar, Disco, DJ, Computer ecc.

Some masculine nouns that ends in -io, lose the o when in the plural form.
Example:
Specchio (Mirror) - Specchi (Mirrors)
Armadio (Cabinet) - Armadi (Cabinets)

Feminine nouns that ends in -ca usually takes -che in the plural form.
Example:
Pesca (Peach) - Pesche (Peaches)
Amica (girl friend) - Amiche (girl friends)
Barca (Boat) - Barche (Boats)

That's all for now guys. If there is anything that is not clear...juz ask, ok?

Assignment: (a little bit of exercise to practice on.... )
Write the following nouns in their plural form:

1.Finestra (window)
2. Padre (father)
3. Camera (room)
4. T-shirt
5. Chiave (key)
6. Ragno (spider)
7. Cugina (cousin)
8. Bacio (kiss)
9. Borsa (bag)
10. Libro (Book)

Guess whether it is masculine or feminine.
1. Amore (love)
2. Rabbia (anger)
3. Odio (hate)
4. Amicizia (frienship)
5. Dubbi (doubts)
6. Paure (fears)
7. Rischi (risks)
8. Coraggio (bravery)
9. Dolcezza (sweetness)
10. Libertà (freedom)
