Questions & Answers about La quota condominiale dipende dai millesimi.

Why is it la quota and not il quota?

Because quota is a feminine singular noun in Italian, so it takes the feminine singular article la.

Agreement works like this:

• la quota
• una quota
• quote in the plural

So the article must match the gender and number of the noun.

What does condominiale do here?

Condominiale is an adjective meaning something like related to the condominium / apartment building association.

So:

• quota = share, fee, amount
• condominiale = condominium-related

Together, quota condominiale means the condo fee/share/charge.

In Italian, adjectives often come after the noun, so quota condominiale is the normal order.

Why does the adjective come after the noun in quota condominiale?

Because in Italian, adjectives commonly follow the noun they describe.
