What are indefinite adjectives in Italian?

Indefinite adjectives (aggettivi indefiniti) refer to nonspecific quantities or amounts, such as "some," "many," or "few." Examples include "qualche" (some), "molto" (many/a lot), and "poco" (few/little).

How do indefinite adjectives agree with nouns?

Indefinite adjectives must agree in gender and number with the noun they modify. For instance, "molto" changes to "molta" for feminine singular (e.g., "molta acqua" – a lot of water) and "molti" or "molte" for masculine or feminine plural (e.g., "molti amici" – many friends).

What difference between "qualche" and "alcuni/e"?

"Qualche" is invariable and always followed by a singular noun but refers to a plural quantity (e.g., "qualche libro" – some books). "Alcuni" (masculine plural) and "alcune" (feminine plural) directly modify plural nouns (e.g., "alcuni libri" – some books).

When do I use "poco" versus "un po' di"?

"Poco" means "little" or "few" and is used with countable or uncountable nouns (e.g., "poca gente" – few people). "Un po' di" means "a bit of" and is used with uncountable nouns to express an indefinite small amount (e.g., "un po' di zucchero" – a bit of sugar).

Can indefinite adjectives be used without a noun?

Yes, in some cases, indefinite adjectives can stand alone when the noun is implied by context. For example, "Alcuni sono già qui" (Some are already here) leaves out the noun but assumes the listener knows what is being referred to.
