Cultural Tip
In Italian weather reports, “per lo più” is a common, slightly formal way to say “mostly.” Italians also use “principalmente” or the adverb “soprattutto” for emphasis. Remember that adjectives must match the gender of the noun they describe – if you’re talking about “la giornata” (the day), you would say “soleggiata e piacevole.”
