Questions & Answers about I ladri hanno rubato i soldi da tutte le casseforti.
Why is the plural of the word for safes casseforti instead of cassaforti?
Casseforti is a compound noun made of a noun (cassa, meaning box or chest) and an adjective (forte, meaning strong). In Italian, when a feminine compound noun is formed by a noun plus an adjective, both parts usually change to plural. So, the singular cassa becomes casse and forte becomes forti, resulting in casseforti.
Why is money translated as the plural i soldi here? Isn't money singular?
Why is it da tutte le casseforti instead of just da tutte casseforti?
Why doesn't the past participle rubato change to rubati to match i soldi?
