Come potete descrivere gli aggettivi indefiniti ?

The name given to that class of adjectives or pronouns that are not really specified or quantified.

Examples in English include › some, something, someone, every, all,

everything, everyone, and anything.

Today is Adjectives.

An adjective appears with a noun › (e.g. some bread, every day)

a pronoun takes the place of a noun and can stand alone as the subject or object of the sentence › (e.g. everything is fine, I know someone

who can help.)

indicate indefinite beings or things in general.

The indefinite adjectives are divided into a few types:

Adjective

qualchesome

alcuni/esome

di + articlesome

ogni every

tuttiall

tuttothe whole

qualunquequalsiasiany

Examplequalche libro

Some books

alcuni libri

Some books

dei libri

Some books

ogni sera

Every morning

Tutte le seraEvery evening

Tutto il giorno all day

Qualunque film

Any film

what is the difference between qualche, alcuni/e, and di + article, (called the partitive), if they all mean some?......

Qualche can only be used with singular nouns. Its ending does not change.

Qualche libro means some books, even though libro appears in its singular form.

Alcuni/e is only used with plural nouns and it has two forms:› alcuni for masculine nouns, (like libri)› alcune for feminine nouns, (like ragazze).

Qualche and alcuni/e mean precisely the same thing.

Just be sure you have agreement between nouns and adjectives: › (sing. noun --> qualche, plural noun -->

alcuni).

Qualche and alcuni › can only be used with nouns you can count

(e.g. friends, books, etc.)

. But what about the many uncountable nouns, (including many foods like milk, butter, wine, meat) and abstract nouns such as time and love?

e.g. del latte, del burro, del vino, della carne, del tempo libero, della pazienza, etc.

You may use di + article with countable nouns too, but only in the plural (e.g. degli amici, dei libri, etc.).

Ogni and tutti both mean every or all,

distinction between them is similar to the one mentioned above:

› Ogni is reserved for singular nouns (e.g. ogni sera), and it is invariable, meaning its ending does not change between genders.

› Tutti/e = used with plural nouns and ends in -i before a masculine noun (e.g. tutti i giorni) and -e before a feminine noun (e.g.

tutte le sere). Note that with tutti, the definite articles (i/gli or le) are

used after it, unlike with ogni: (Ogni studente but tutti gli studenti).

Tutto› singular form is used with singular nouns

to mean all or the whole › tutto il giorno = the whole day, all day

long; tutta l'acqua = all the water, etc.

Its endings change (-o or -a), to agree with the noun in gender.

invariable (their endings don't change),

they can be used interchangeably to mean any in the sense of "Any day is good for me": › qualsiasi giorno va bene per me.

invariable adjectives with only a singular form (and are only adjectives)
