Questions & Answers about La stagione è molto fresca quest'anno.
Why do we use fresca instead of fredda here?
Fresca means cool in English, which suggests that the temperature is lower than normal but not extremely cold. Fredda would mean cold, implying much lower temperatures.
Why is it fresca (feminine) and not fresco (masculine)?
In Italian, adjectives agree with the noun they describe. Stagione is a feminine noun, so we use fresca to match its gender.
How does molto work in this sentence?
Here, molto is used as an adverb meaning very. It modifies the adjective fresca to intensify its meaning. In this role, molto does not change its form and remains the same regardless of gender or number.
Why do we say è instead of sta?
Essere (è) is used for a more permanent or defining characteristic or condition, or for statements of general fact. Stare often implies a temporary state or how someone feels. Since we’re describing the overall condition of the season this year, è is the appropriate choice.
What is the purpose of quest’anno?
Quest’anno is a contraction of questo anno, meaning this year. It shows that the statement about the season being cool specifically applies to the current year.
