Questions & Answers about La luce è rossa.
Why does luce end in -e if it is a feminine noun?
In Italian, not all feminine nouns end in -a. There is a large group of nouns that end in -e in the singular, and these can be either masculine or feminine. You just have to memorize the gender when you learn the word! In this sentence, the article la and the adjective rossa are your clues that luce is feminine.
How do I make a noun like luce plural?
Why is the adjective rossa instead of rosso?
Adjectives must match the noun they describe in both gender (masculine or feminine) and number (singular or plural). Because luce is a feminine singular noun, the adjective changes from its default masculine form rosso to the feminine singular form rossa.
