Questions & Answers about Questi mucchi di vestiti ingombrano la stanza.
Why is the plural of mucchio spelled mucchi and not mucchii?
Since our current lesson is about the relative pronoun che, how would I say "The room that these piles of clothes have cluttered"? Does the past participle agree?
You would typically say La stanza che questi mucchi di vestiti hanno ingombrato. When che acts as a direct object (representing the feminine singular la stanza), making the past participle agree with it is completely optional. You can say hanno ingombrata, but leaving it as ingombrato is much more common in modern spoken Italian.
Is ingombrare the best verb to use for "cluttering"?
Why is it just di vestiti instead of dei vestiti?
