Questions & Answers about Domani ho un appuntamento importante. Buona fortuna!

Why is there no apostrophe in un appuntamento?
In Italian, you only use un' with an apostrophe for feminine words that start with a vowel, like un'amica. Because appuntamento is masculine, it just takes the regular masculine article un.
Why does importante come after the noun, but buona comes before?
Most descriptive adjectives like importante go directly after the noun they describe. However, a few very common adjectives like buono (good) often go before the noun. This is especially true in fixed everyday greetings like Buona fortuna!
Appuntamento is masculine, so why doesn't the adjective end in -o (like importanto)?
Not all adjectives end in -o or -a. Importante belongs to a common group of adjectives that end in -e. These adjectives use the exact same form for both masculine and feminine singular nouns.
How do I pronounce ho if there is an "h" at the beginning?
The letter "h" is always completely silent in Italian. You pronounce ho exactly like the English letter "O". The written "h" is just there to tell it apart from the word o, which means "or".
