Breakdown of Il viaggio è molto noioso.
Questions & Answers about Il viaggio è molto noioso.
Do I pronounce the i in viaggio?
No, the i is silent. In Italian, when an i comes right after a g or c and before another vowel (like the o here), it just acts as a spelling signal. It tells you to make the g soft, like the 'j' in the English word "jeans". It is pronounced roughly like "vee-AHJ-joh". Why does è have an accent mark?
The accent mark distinguishes it from another very common word. With the accent, è means "is" (from the verb essere, to be). Without the accent, e means "and". If the noun was feminine, would molto change to molta?
No, it would stay exactly the same! In this sentence, molto is acting as an adverb meaning "very" because it modifies the adjective noioso (boring). Adverbs never change their endings. If you were talking about a feminine noun, like la lezione (the lesson), it would be la lezione è molto noiosa. Why does noioso end in -o?
Noioso is an adjective describing il viaggio (the trip). Since viaggio is a masculine singular noun, the adjective must also be in its masculine singular form, which ends in -o. If it were describing a feminine singular noun, it would change to noiosa. Learn Il viaggio è molto noioso and more in Italian
