Questions & Answers about Questo gruppo ha tre ragazzi e quattro ragazze.

Do the numbers tre and quattro change endings to match masculine or feminine words?
No! Most Italian numbers, including tre (three) and quattro (four), never change their endings no matter what they are counting. From 1 to 10, the only exception is the number one, which changes to match the gender of the noun (like un ragazzo or una ragazza).
Why does ragazzi end in -i but ragazze ends in -e?
These are the standard plural endings in Italian. The singular word for boy is ragazzo (ends in -o), which becomes ragazzi (ends in -i) in the plural. The singular word for girl is ragazza (ends in -a), which changes to ragazze (ends in -e) in the plural.
How do I pronounce the word ha in this sentence?
The letter h is always silent in Italian, so ha is pronounced exactly like a simple 'a' sound. The h is only there in writing so you can tell the difference between ha (he/she/it has) and the little word a (to/at).
Why is it questo gruppo instead of questa gruppo?
The word questo (this) has to match the gender of the noun it points to. Because gruppo (group) is a masculine word, we use the masculine form questo. If the noun were feminine, it would change to questa.
