Default Carne salata vergellata

"Randal Oulton" wrote

For Italian adjectives, you want to look up the masculine

singular
forms, not the feminine forms (or any plural ones). So,

vergellato
(masculine) instead of vergelleta (feminine) or vergellati

(masculine
plural) or vergellate (feminine plural).


Ah, the demon of grammatical gender strikes again. As a
former Latin teacher I should have remembered this.

Here's a very interesting page Google fetched up on
"vergellato"
