Questions & Answers about Non accettiamo affatto un margine poco redditizio da un'azienda qualunque.
Why does affatto go right after the verb instead of at the end of the sentence like "at all" does in English?
Why is poco translated as "barely" rather than "a little" in poco redditizio?
Does qualunque always mean "just any"? Why is it placed after azienda?
Placing qualunque after a noun (and using an indefinite article, as in un'azienda qualunque) specifically means "just any", "ordinary", or "run-of-the-mill". It carries a slightly dismissive tone here. If it were placed before the noun (qualunque azienda), it would neutrally mean "any company" (as in "whichever company").
Quick refresher: why does un'azienda get an apostrophe but un margine doesn't?
Azienda is a feminine noun starting with a vowel. The feminine indefinite article una drops its final vowel and takes an apostrophe before another vowel (un'azienda). Margine is a masculine noun, so it takes the masculine article un, which never uses an apostrophe.
