Ciao!

In this episode we'll look at where to put the adjective, and how that influences the article. For more episodes and extra exercises on this topic, subscribe to the extended podcast on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/ItalianGrammar or Redcircle: https://redcircle.com/shows/italian-grammar!

..

In general: always after the noun.

But if on this list, put the adjective first:

altro 

bello

bravo

brutto

buono

caro

cattivo

giovane

grande

lungo

nuovo

piccolo

primo

stesso

vecchio

vero

ultimo

Ex:

un altro giorno

un lungo fiume

Try:

a small house

the first day

..

If adjective BEFORE the noun - it determines the article:

uno studente

un bravo studente

gli amici

i nuovi amici

With modifier (molto, poco, abbastanza, un po'); both are placed AFTER the noun. 

a very new book - un libro molto nuovo.

a very smalll cup - una tazza molto piccola

In short:

The general rule: after.

Sometimes, first. (Which determines the article)

With modifier, always after.

Great work!

😊
