Learn Italian: Donerei molti soldi al museo. - I would donate a lot of money to the museum.

Donerei is the "I" form (first-person singular) of the present conditional, meaning "I would donate." For regular -are verbs like donare, you drop the -are, add an -e-, and then add the conditional ending -ei. So, the stem becomes doner- and we get donerei.

Why is it molti soldi instead of molto soldi? Doesn't molto mean "a lot"?

In English, "money" is singular. But in Italian, the word for money, soldi, is plural. Because soldi is a masculine plural noun, the adjective describing it has to match. Therefore, molto changes to its masculine plural form, molti.

Do I need to include the word io (I) at the beginning of this sentence?
