✕Common Mistakes

  • Vogliamo belli foto dell'evento.

    The adjective must match the feminine plural noun *foto*; use *belle* instead of *belli*.

  • Vogliamo belle foto di l'evento.

    When *di* meets the article *l'* before a vowel, they contract to *dell'*.

  • Vogliamo belle foto del evento.

    Because *evento* starts with a vowel, the correct form is *dell'evento*, not *del evento*.

↔Alternatives

  • Ci servono foto belle dell'evento.

    We need nice photos of the event.

  • Vorremmo delle belle foto dell'evento.

    We would like some nice photos of the event.

Cultural Tip

In Italian, adjectives that describe aesthetic qualities (like *belle*) usually go before the noun, unlike many other adjectives that follow it. The contraction *dell'* is mandatory before a vowel‑starting word. If you want to sound extra polite, you can use *potreste* (could you) or *vorremmo* (we would like).
