Questions & Answers about I lunghi oblii rovinano gli oggetti.
Why does oblii have two i's at the end, while plural words like orologi or viaggi only have one?
This comes down to where the stress falls in the singular noun. In oblio (oblivion), the stress is on the i (oblìo). When the i in an -io ending is stressed, the plural takes a double -ii. For words like orologio or viaggio, the stress is elsewhere, so the plural just drops the final o and leaves a single -i.
How do you pronounce the double ii at the end of oblii?
Why is there an h in lunghi?
Is it normal to use a word like "oblivion" in the plural in Italian?
