Questions & Answers about Il viaggio guidato in montagna è rilassante.
Why is il used before viaggio?
In Italian, nouns ending in -o (like viaggio) are typically masculine singular, so they take the masculine singular definite article il.
What does guidato mean here?
Guidato is the past participle of the verb guidare (“to guide”) and functions as an adjective meaning guided. Together viaggio guidato means guided trip.
Why is guidato placed after viaggio instead of before?
In Italian, descriptive adjectives and past participles used as adjectives generally follow the noun they modify: viaggio guidato rather than guidato viaggio.
Why is there no article before montagna in in montagna?
When expressing being in or going to a general place like “the mountains,” Italian uses in + singular noun without an article. So in montagna means in the mountains or to the mountains.
Why does rilassante end in -e?
Adjectives ending in -ante have a single form for both masculine and feminine singular (ending in -e). Their plural (both genders) ends in -i.
