Questions & Answers about Un buon impegno porta un buon risultato.
Why do we use buon instead of buono before both words?
The adjective buono (good) drops its final -o when it comes right before a masculine singular noun starting with a vowel (like impegno) or most normal consonants (like risultato). You only keep the full buono before masculine nouns starting with tricky consonant sounds like s + consonant (like buono studente), z, gn, or ps.
Why is there no apostrophe in buon impegno? Doesn't impegno start with a vowel?
Wait, doesn't porta mean 'door'?
Is impegno the standard word for 'effort'?
