Grammar: Adjectives agree: -o and -a
An adjective describing a boy ends in -o; describing a girl it ends in -a.
Adjectives ending in -e stay the same for both: triste, felice.
| boy | stanco, contento | triste, felice |
| girl | stanca, contenta | triste, felice |
Marco è contento. Marco is happy.
Giulia è contenta. Giulia is happy.
Sono felice. I am happy. (anyone)
