Questions & Answers about La neve è bianca.
Why is it La neve instead of just Neve if we mean snow in general?
In Italian, when you talk about a broad category or make a general statement, you almost always need to use the definite article. So while English just says "Snow is white," Italian requires La neve è bianca.
The word neve ends in -e. How do I know it is feminine?
If the dictionary says the word for white is bianco, why is it bianca here?
Adjectives must match the noun they describe. Since la neve is a feminine singular noun, the basic masculine adjective bianco changes its ending to -a to become the feminine singular bianca.
