Questions & Answers about La borsa rossa è molto leggera.
Why do both rossa and leggera end in -a?
Both of these adjectives describe la borsa (the bag), which is a feminine singular noun. Regular adjectives that end in -o in their dictionary form (like rosso and leggero) change their ending to -a to match feminine singular nouns.
Why does rossa come after borsa instead of before it?
In Italian, descriptive adjectives, including colors like rossa, almost always come directly after the noun they describe. Instead of the English word order the red bag, Italian says la borsa rossa (the bag red).
