Questa suola consumata è riparabile.

Because suola is a feminine singular noun, and questo/questa must agree with the noun it modifies.

• questo = masculine singular
• questa = feminine singular
• questi = masculine plural
• queste = feminine plural

So:

• questa suola = this sole

Here, suola means the sole of a shoe.

It does not mean ground or soil. A learner might confuse it with similar-looking words:

• suola = sole of a shoe
• suolo = ground, soil

So questa suola consumata refers to a shoe sole that has become worn down.

Because consumata is an adjective describing suola, and adjectives in Italian usually agree in gender and number with the noun.

Since suola is feminine singular, the adjective must also be feminine singular:

• suola consumata = worn sole

If the noun were masculine singular, you would normally use consumato instead.

It comes from the verb consumare, which often means to consume, to use up, or to wear out.

In this sentence, consumata means something like:

• worn
• worn down
• used up

So although the literal connection is to consume, the natural meaning here is worn.

For example:

• scarpe consumate = worn shoes
• gomiti consumati = worn elbows on a jacket
• suola consumata = worn sole

In Italian, adjectives often come after the noun, especially when they describe a physical or factual quality.

So:

• suola consumata = worn sole

This is completely normal Italian word order.

Sometimes adjectives can come before the noun, but that often changes the tone or emphasis. In this sentence, suola consumata is the most natural order.

Riparabile means repairable.

It is formed from:

• riparare = to repair
• -bile = a suffix meaning -able

So:

• riparare → riparabile
• lavare → lavabile = washable
• leggere → leggibile = readable

This suffix is very useful in Italian and often works similarly to English -able.

Yes. Both are correct, but they are slightly different in style.

• È riparabile = It is repairable
• Si può riparare = It can be repaired

The second version often sounds a bit more everyday and conversational. The first sounds a little more formal or technical.

So these are both natural:

• Questa suola consumata è riparabile.
• Questa suola consumata si può riparare.

Because è is the verb essere in the third person singular: is.

The accent is important because it distinguishes è from e:

• è = is
• e = and

So:

• Questa suola consumata è riparabile. = This worn sole is repairable.
• Without the accent, it would be incorrect.

Italian usually does not require an explicit subject pronoun when the subject is already clear.

In English, you say:

• It is repairable

In Italian, the verb ending often makes the subject clear enough, so Italian can simply say:

• È riparabile

In this sentence, the subject is already stated as questa suola consumata, so there is no need to add a separate pronoun.

It is an adjective, not a verb form.

In the sentence:

• Questa suola consumata è riparabile

the structure is:

• Questa suola consumata = subject noun phrase
• è = verb is
• riparabile = adjective describing the subject

So it works exactly like:

• La porta è aperta. = The door is open.
• Il testo è leggibile. = The text is readable.

You would make the article/demonstrative, noun, adjective, and any agreeing forms plural where necessary.

Singular:

• Questa suola consumata è riparabile.

Plural:

• Queste suole consumate sono riparabili.

Changes:

• questa → queste
• suola → suole
• consumata → consumate
• è → sono
• riparabile → riparabili

No. Italian has several words that could fit, depending on the nuance.

For example:

• consumata = worn, worn down through use
• usurata = worn out, more formal or technical
• rovinata = damaged, ruined
• danneggiata = damaged

So consumata specifically suggests wear from use, which is very natural for a shoe sole.

A helpful approximate pronunciation is:

KWE-sta SWO-la kon-soo-MA-ta eh ree-pa-RA-bi-le

A few pronunciation notes:

• qu in questa sounds like kw
• uo in suola is pronounced together as swo-
• stress in consumata falls on -ma-
• stress in riparabile falls on -ra-
• è is pronounced like eh

A more detailed breakdown:

• Questa → KWE-sta
• suola → SWO-la
• consumata → kon-soo-MA-ta
• è → eh
• riparabile → ree-pa-RA-bi-le
