Questions & Answers about Il sensore automatico misura non solo la temperatura, ma anche il rumore.
Do I have to keep ma and anche right next to each other?
Why does the sentence use rumore instead of suono?
Rumore translates to 'noise' (unwanted, loud, or ambient background sound), which fits what an environmental sensor measures. Suono translates to 'sound' and is usually more neutral or pleasant, like music or a voice.
Is the comma before ma anche required?
Yes, it is standard Italian punctuation. You almost always put a comma before ma (but), even when it is just connecting two nouns rather than two full phrases.
Why does automatico come after sensore?
In Italian, adjectives that categorize something or tell you what specific type of thing it is (like an automatic sensor versus a manual one) almost always go directly after the noun.
