sufix -ista is both and male and female ;) if you want to say plural of it, sounds like this - milanisti :de3:

Well, not 100 % true though...plural for smth that ends with -a will end with -e...Male are usually finish with -o, and plural for them is -i. When there is mix of female and male, plural will finish with -i (even if in the group only one male all the rest are female)...Thats from italian grammar. Have no idea, maybe word Milanista is exceptional. :dontkn:

By the way, word Milanisto exists..try to google it and you ll find :)

sorry to disappoint but it doesn't exist
Milanista is either female/male noun and adjective

You can say "that person is a milanista " (either guy or girl)---> adject
or " a milanista came into the pub"--> noun

The final letter "a" is generally used for female nouns, but it also can be used as neutral noun.
It comes from Latin because in latin the plural neutral nouns have the final letter "a".

ex. (obiter) dictum SING (something said and pronunced incidentally) - dicta PL NEUTRAL( many meanings- for ex. the whole amount of sentences of a court )

Cities are generally feminine nouns (Milano is rossonera, Torino is bianconera)

male can also finish with -e, then in pl. is -i. female singular can also finish in -e, btw ;)

Gio, IMO the words of ancient greek orgin like programma, schema, sistema, thema have article il, but in plural end with -i.

i don't understand what you mean :p1510:

il programma
lo schema
il sistema
il tema

in italian they end with i but in greek they usually end with "a" in plural form

skematon SING- skemata PL
epi-grammaton SING- epi-grammata PL (this system doesn't give me e-p-i-g.. because there's the word p-i-g :rollani: )

The neutral words either in latin and ancient greek end with A

In latin this is the declination of a neutral noun:
nom_BELLUM (THE WAR)................BELLA
gen_BELLI...................................BELLORUM
dat_BELLO...................................BELLIS
accus_BELLUM..............................BELLA
nom_BELLUM................................BELLA
abl_BELLO...................................BELLIS

Well... one can appreciate the stuctures of a foreign language. No doubt English is the most messed up of all. Just the way we spell and pronounce them is all screwed up. One would think that because two words spelled almost the same they might sound the same.
Example: Laughter (LaF-ter)
thus daughter ???(Daf-ter)???
nope DAhhhww-ter

Do (Du or Dew)
No ???(Nu/new)???
NOOOOOO!

Lead... to inspire followers??? or the heavy metal???
Led or Lead???

Read or read... ???(reed or red)????

I blame all you French, Germans, and you viking decendants for screwing it all up. LOL!

i don't understand what you mean :p1510:

in italian they end with i That's it ;)

Kui... english sux :neww:

Ahhh but we put them in purely to test the loyalty of you colonials, the American Revolution only started because George Washington could no longer stand spelling colour properly :D

Kui... english sux

:gun: ;)

Truth is, while French and Latin where used as the languages of court, English was the language spoken by peasants, they didnt care much for spelling as they couldnt read or write anyway :)

[Kui]

The colonials left because they couldnt handle all those fopsy customs and mannerism you silly English showed off with much pride. Most of your celebs today are still fops. Good example is Becks. Sounds like he's yet to hit puberty!

I'll agree the gents in America possessed a rustic nature to a point where the spelling of the King's English might have been a turn off as well. Keep in mind before they were "American" I believe their previous title was ENGLISH.

[rae]

:gun: ;)Well... american english sux more that british english :D

But above all lithuanian sux the most. :sob:
