3.5 Formation of the plural of the adjectives

We have already said that the adjectives have to be adjusted to the gender and number of the nouns, they refer to. Then it is logical that there are always four forms of an adjective:
Singular - masculine; singular - feminine, plural - masculine; plural - feminine

The pronunciation of the plural is mostly identical with the singular, which makes things easier. The plural form of the feminine form is also easy, because it is formed by adding an -s.

Example feminine plural forms
	une	femme	heureuse
	des	femmes	heureuses
	a	woman	happy
	une	femme	contente
	des	femmes	contentes
	a	woman	content
	une	femme	indulgente
	des	femmes	indulgentes
	a	woman	noble
	une	femme	jalouse
	des	femmes	jalouses
	a	woman	jealous
	une	vieille	femme
	des	vieilles	femmes
	an	old	woman
	une	femme	italienne
	des	femmes	italiennes
	a	woman	Italian
