Ciao a tutti! It’s all about THIS today. Questo in Italian.

 

When demonstrative pronouns questo (questa, questi, queste) and quello (quella, quelli, quelle) are followed by a noun, they turn into adjectives.

The Demonstrative adjective (aggetivi dimostrativi) are:

Singolare Singular Plurale

Plural

Masculine questo this questi

these

Feminine questa this queste

these

Masculine quello that quelli

those

Feminine quella that quelle

those

Masculine codesto that codesti

those

Feminine codesta that codeste

those

 

questo, questa, and quella before a noun beginning with a vowel takes an apostrophe. Examples:

  • quest’aereo       »  this airplane
  • quest’aula       »  this classroom
  • quell’autostrada       »  that highway

Questa is sometimes shortened to “sta” and contracted with the noun it modifies:

  • questa      sera (this evening)   »  stasera      (this evening)

Demonstratives agree in gender and number with the nouns they modify, and always precede them:

  • Questo libro       »  this book
  • Quella casa        »  that house
