Two plurals for the same word?
What if there's an Italian noun that has two or more plurals, such as orgia? - Lo Ximiendo 21:14, 11 April 2011 (UTC)

Change to template format
The format of this template's positional parameters is currently being changed. When the conversion process has been completed the documentation page will be changed accordingly. The new format will be where g is the gender and pl is the plural form. This format may be used as from now. SemperBlotto (talk) 21:18, 14 September 2013 (UTC)
 * The new parameter format is already valid actually, and the documentation page was already updated. 21:21, 14 September 2013 (UTC)

Formation of plurals
Typically, the plurals of Italian nouns are formed by modifying the ending as follows:-


 * Masculine nouns
 * -o => -i (gatto => gatti)
 * -co => -chi (tedesco => tedeschi)
 * -go => -ghi (lago => laghi)
 * -ologo => -ologi (filologo => filologi)
 * -io => -i (if the stress is elsewhere - negozio => negozi)
 * -io => -ii (if stressed on the "i" of -io - zio => zii)
 * -a => -i (poeta => poeti)
 * -ga => -ghi (collega => colleghi)
 * -e => -i (padre => padri)


 * Feminine nouns
 * -a => -e (gatta => gatte)
 * -ca => -che (banca => banche)
 * -ga => -ghe (collega => colleghe)
 * -cia => -ce (if the stress is elsewhere - doccia => docce)
 * -gia => -ge (if the stress is elsewhere - pioggia => piogge)
 * -e => -i (madre => madri)


 * Invariant nouns
 * The plural is the same as the singular if
 * the singular ends in a consonant (camion)
 * the singular ends in an accented vowel (caffè)
 * the singular ends in -i (crisi)
 * the singular ends in -ie (serie)
 * the singular is a single syllable (re)
 * it is a surname (Costa)
 * it is an abbreviation of a longer word (radio (of radiotelefonia))

mpl and fpl
Module:parameters has brought to light some uses of mpl and fpl parameters. I removed them in order to be consistent with other similar entries (they never worked as intended, anyway), but it might be worth considering whether adding those parameters might be a good idea. I don't work on Italian entries, so I'll leave that to others to decide. I'm not sure whether I should have posted this here or at module:it-head- feel free to move this there. Thanks!

Uncountable nouns and categorization
Could someone edit the template to make possible to display uncountable nouns and to automatically categorize nouns into Category:Italian countable nouns and Category:Italian uncountable nouns? Thanks ;) [ ˌiˑvã̠n̪ˑ ˈs̪kr̺ud͡ʒʔ ˌn̺ovã̠n̪ˑˈt̪ɔ̟t̪ːo ] (parla con me) 09:45, 8 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Alright, I edited the module and it seems categorization works, now how can "~" not be displayed? [ ˌiˑvã̠n̪ˑ ˈs̪kr̺ud͡ʒʔ ˌn̺ovã̠n̪ˑˈt̪ɔ̟t̪ːo ] (parla con me) 10:04, 8 January 2017 (UTC)

Pejoratives, Diminutives and Augmentatives
The template's documentation has yet to explain the parameters for pejorative (pej), diminutive (dim) and augmentative (aug) forms of nouns. -- Apisite (talk) 02:55, 9 November 2023 (UTC)
