Description
Ciao!
In this episode we'll look at the adjective "bello", "beautiful", and how the endings follow the pattern of the specific article!

...
"bello" comes before the noun (it's "on the list"), and follows the pattern of the specific article. (il,lo,la,l' - i,gli,le).
Ex:

lo zio - il bello zio
l'amico - il bell'amico
la donna - la bella donna
l'anima - la bell'anima
i libri - i bei libri
gli alberi - i begli alberi
le cattedrali - le belle cattedrali
Try:
the beautiful book

the beautiful studio
the beautiful tree
the beautiful appartments
the beautiful boys/guys
the beautiful girls
the beautiful sports
Sentences:
We have beautiful weather
We have beautiful days
They have a beautiful studio
You (plural) have beautiful apartments
Note!
If "bello" is after the noun, f.ex. with a modifier - it follows the standard ending: "bello", "bella", "belli", "belle".
Try:
the very beautiful book
the very beautiful studio
the very beautiful appartments
the very beautiful houses
Sum up:
"bello" - when in front, endings follow pattern of specific articles, both sing./plural.
When after; standard endings.
Excellent work!
