Question 1

What are interrogative adjectives in Italian?

Accepted Answer

Interrogative adjectives (aggettivi interrogativi) are used to ask questions about a noun. The most common interrogative adjectives in Italian are "che" (what/which), "quale" (which), and "quanto" (how much/how many).

Question 2

How do interrogative adjectives agree with nouns?

Accepted Answer

Interrogative adjectives must agree in gender and number with the noun they modify. For example, "quale" becomes "quali" for plural (e.g., "Quale libro?" – Which book?; "Quali libri?" – Which books?), and "quanto" changes to "quanta", "quanti", and "quante" depending on the noun (e.g., "Quanta acqua?" – How much water?).

Question 3

What are exclamative adjectives in Italian?

Accepted Answer

Exclamative adjectives (aggettivi esclamativi) express strong emotions or surprise about a noun.

Question 4
