### The Quantifier "Tutto"

To say "all" or "the whole" in Italian, use the quantifier **tutto**. Because it acts like an adjective, it must agree in gender and number with the noun it modifies, giving you four forms: **tutto**, **tutta**, **tutti**, and **tutte**.

When modifying a noun, **tutto** has a unique word order: it must be placed directly *before* the definite article (the words for "the", like *il*, *lo*, *la*, *i*, *gli*, and *le*).

- **tutto/a/i/e + definite article + noun**

When used with a singular noun, **tutto** translates to "the whole" or "the entire".

{{item:811131}}

{{item:811147}}

{{item:811134}}

When used with a plural noun, **tutti** and **tutte** translate to "all the". Remember that the definite article still needs to match the noun's gender and number.
