Il prezzo è uguale in ogni negozio.
The price is the same in every shop.
From Lesson 86:Comparisons of equality (così... come)·Italian

Questions & Answers about Il prezzo è uguale in ogni negozio.

This lesson is about così... come and tanto... quanto. Why aren't we using those to show equality here?
Those pairs are used when comparing two specific things side-by-side (like saying "Shop A is as expensive as Shop B"). Here, we aren't comparing two specific subjects in that way; we're just stating the price is generally "equal" everywhere. For that, we simply use the adjective uguale.
Since uguale is an adjective, will its ending change depending on what is equal?
Yes! Because it ends in -e, it works for both masculine and feminine singular nouns (like il prezzo). If the noun were plural, it would change to -i. For example, "The prices are the same" would be I prezzi sono uguali.
Could I use lo stesso instead of uguale in this sentence?
Yes, you could say Il prezzo è lo stesso in ogni negozio. While lo stesso translates directly to "the same" and uguale translates to "equal," they are used interchangeably in everyday contexts like this.
Why is it ogni negozio (singular) when we are talking about multiple shops?
The word ogni means "every" or "each," and it must always be followed by a singular noun, exactly like in English ("every shop," never "every shops"). If you wanted to use the plural noun for "shops," you would have to use the phrase for "all the shops" instead: tutti i negozi.
