Questions & Answers about I dogmi di questa teoria non sono assoluti.
Why is the plural i dogmi instead of le dogme?
Why is the adjective at the end assoluti and not assolute?
Adjectives must agree with the noun they describe. Since dogmi is a masculine plural noun, the adjective describing it must also be masculine plural. Therefore, assoluto becomes assoluti.
Why does the sentence use di questa instead of a combined word like della?
Prepositions like di (of) only merge into single words when they are followed by a definite article like la (forming della). Because questa (this) is a demonstrative adjective rather than an article, the preposition di remains a separate word.
Why is it questa teoria and not questo teoria?
Teoria is a standard feminine noun. The demonstrative adjective questo (this) must agree with the gender and number of the noun it modifies, so it changes to the feminine singular form questa.
