Learn Italian: La bambina è piccola e molto simpatica. - The little girl is small and very nice.

To make this plural, you apply the regular feminine rules from this lesson. La bambina becomes le bambine. The adjectives must match the noun, so piccola becomes piccole and simpatica becomes simpatiche (we add an 'h' to keep the hard 'c' sound). The verb è (is) changes to sono (are). The full plural sentence is: Le bambine sono piccole e molto simpatiche.

If almost everything ends in "-a" to match bambina, why doesn't molto become molta?

In this sentence, molto means "very", which is an adverb describing how nice she is. Adverbs never change their endings! If molto meant "a lot of" (like in "a lot of water"), it would act as an adjective and change its ending. But when it means "very", it always stays molto.

Does simpatica mean "sympathetic"?

No, this is a classic "false friend"! In Italian, simpatica (or simpatico for a male) means someone is nice, friendly, or pleasant to be around. If you want to say someone is sympathetic, you would use a different word, like comprensiva.
