Learn Italian: Il povero acquirente non ha visto il terrazzo grande. - The poor buyer did not see the large terrace.

In Italian, some adjectives change their meaning based on where they are placed. When povero comes before the noun, it means "unfortunate" or "pitiable" (we feel bad for the buyer). If we put it after the noun (l'acquirente povero), it would mean the buyer is financially poor!

What would it mean if we moved grande before the noun, making it il grande terrazzo?

Placing grande after the noun, as it is here (il terrazzo grande), gives it its literal meaning of physical size: a large terrace. If you put it before the noun, it takes on a figurative meaning, translating more to a "great" or "magnificent" terrace.

Is visto an irregular verb?

Yes, visto is the irregular past participle of the verb vedere (to see). To form the past tense for "did not see", we use the helper verb avere (non ha) combined with this past participle.

The word acquirente ends in -e. How can we tell if it is masculine or feminine here?

Nouns ending in -e can be either masculine or feminine. In this sentence, we know it is masculine because it uses the masculine "the" (il) and the masculine adjective ending (povero). If the buyer were female, the sentence would use la povera acquirente.
