Questions & Answers about Il genere e l'etnia non sono fattori ideologici.
Why are the articles Il and l' used here when English just says "Gender and ethnicity"?
In Italian, definite articles are required before abstract nouns or nouns used in a broad, general sense. While English drops the article to talk about "gender" or "ethnicity" as overall concepts, Italian keeps them: il genere and l'etnia.
Does genere always mean "gender"?
Why is the plural of ideologico spelled ideologici and not ideologichi?
For adjectives ending in -co or -go, the plural spelling depends on where the spoken stress falls. If the stress is on the third-to-last syllable (like i-deo-lò-gi-co), the plural usually takes the soft sound -ci or -gi. If the stress is on the second-to-last syllable (like stàn-co), you add an h to keep the hard sound (stàn-chi).
How could I use this lesson's focus, a prescindere da, with these nouns to say "Regardless of gender and ethnicity"?
