Questions & Answers about Qui ci sono sette alberi grandi.
Does sette change its ending to match the plural noun alberi?
No, cardinal numbers like sette (seven) do not change their endings to agree with the noun. The only exception from 1 to 10 is uno (one), which changes depending on the gender of the noun. Numbers from 2 upwards stay exactly the same!
Why do we use ci sono instead of just sono?
Why is it alberi grandi instead of grandi alberi?
In Italian, adjectives that describe a physical characteristic like size or color usually come right after the noun they describe. Since grandi (big) describes the trees, it follows alberi.
