Questions & Answers about Ho creato i blog molti anni fa per i miei follower.

Why don't blog and follower have plural endings like 'bloghi' or 'followers'?
In Italian, nouns that end in a consonant are almost always foreign loanwords, and they are invariable. This means their spelling stays exactly the same in the plural. Instead of changing the noun itself, you show that it's plural by changing the article (from il to i). Never add an English -s to make an Italian word plural!
Since follower doesn't change form, how do we know to use i miei?
Even though the noun's spelling doesn't change, it still grammatically counts as a plural noun in the sentence. All the words attached to it—like articles and possessive adjectivesmust agree with it. Because the speaker is talking about multiple followers, we use the masculine plural i miei instead of the singular il mio.
Are all foreign loanwords like blog and follower masculine?
Most of them are! When Italian adopts a new foreign word, it usually defaults to masculine. There are a few exceptions (like la band or l'e-mail), but masculine is the safest guess. That's why we use the masculine plural article i for both words here.
How does fa mean 'ago' in molti anni fa?
Fa is a form of the verb fare (to do/make), but when you put it right after a length of time, it acts as a time marker meaning 'ago'. Just like in English, it goes at the very end of the time phrase: molti anni (many years) + fa (ago).
