Breakdown of Avete sette domande.
Questions & Answers about Avete sette domande.
Does the number sette change depending on the word that comes after it?
No, most numbers in Italian, including sette (seven), do not change to match the gender of the noun. It stays exactly the same whether you are counting feminine things like domande or masculine things. The only number from 1 to 10 that changes is uno (one). Why does the translation say "You all have" if there is no word for "you" in the Italian sentence?
In Italian, the verb itself tells you who the subject is. Avete is the specific form of the verb avere (to have) that goes with voi (you all). Because the verb makes it obvious, Italians usually drop the word voi. Why does domande end in -e?
The singular word for question is domanda. It is a feminine noun that ends in -a. To make these nouns plural, you change the -a to an -e, giving us domande (questions). How would I change this to say "You (just one person) have seven questions"?
You would change the verb to the singular "you" form. Instead of avete, you would use hai, making the sentence: Hai sette domande. Learn Avete sette domande and more in Italian
