Hai visto il documentario sulla storia dell’arte?
Did you watch the documentary about art history?
Sì, è molto interessante.
Yes, it’s very interesting.
✕Common Mistakes
Sì, è molti interessante.
‘Molti’ is the plural form of the adjective ‘molto’; when intensifying an adjective you must use the adverb ‘molto’.
Sì, è molto interessanti.
The adjective must agree with the singular subject implied by ‘è’; using the plural form creates a mismatch.
Sì, è molto interessato.
‘Interessato’ means ‘interested (in)’ and is a past participle, not the adjective ‘interesting’. Use ‘interessante’ for ‘interesting’.
↔Alternatives

Yes, it’s rather interesting.
Certo, è molto interessante.
Sure, it’s very interesting.
Cultural Tip
In Italian conversation, a short ‘Sì’ followed by a comment is very common and sounds natural. If you want to sound more enthusiastic, you can replace ‘Sì’ with ‘Certo’ or add an interjection like ‘Assolutamente!’ Remember that adjectives agree with the subject, but ‘interessante’ is invariant for gender, so you don’t need to change its ending.
