Cultural Tip
In Italian marketing and fitness talk, adjectives like ‘perfetto’ are often placed before the prepositional phrase to create a punchy, positive claim. Remember that the adjective must match the gender of the implied noun (usually masculine singular), so ‘perfetto’ is correct even though ‘glutei’ is masculine plural.
