Questions & Answers about Nessun turista vuole pagare un prezzo disonesto.
How does the prefix work in the word disonesto?
Since the lesson teaches in-, dis-, and s-, could I say inonesto or sonesto instead?
Why is it nessun and not nessuno?
When used as an adjective describing a noun, nessuno (no/not any) follows the exact same rules as the word uno (a/an). Because turista starts with a single consonant (t), nessuno drops its final -o to become nessun. You only use nessuno before masculine nouns starting with 'z' or 's + consonant', or when it stands entirely alone as a pronoun meaning 'nobody'.
Turista ends in -a, so why are we using the masculine nessun instead of the feminine nessuna?
