Italian Grammar Introduction to Gender and Number

Italian Grammar Introduction to Gender and Number Suzy S. When it comes to building a solid Italian grammar foundation, gender and number are two very important concepts one must learn.  Unfortunately, they are also very troublesome for beginner students. Below Italian teacher, Nadia B. gives a quick and easy introduction to the two concepts Ready to explore Italian grammar? For students, gender and number are often the most challenging concepts to understand, since they are used very differently in Italian than in English. However, with a little explanation and practice, you will be using them with ease in no time. So, lets get started! Gender In Italian, nouns and adjectives can be either masculine or feminine. Usually the gender of the noun can be identified by the ending. For example,  if the noun ends in -o  its generally masculine, and if the noun ends in -a, it is generally feminine. In the plural, nouns ending in -i are generally masculine, and nouns ending in -e are feminine. See examples below. Masculine: il ragazzo (the boy) / i ragazzi (the boys) il libro (the book) / i libri (the books) lalbero (the tree) / gli alberi (the trees) Feminine: la ragazza (the girl) / le ragazze (the girls) la gonna (the skirt) / le gonne (the skirts) la penna (the pen) / le penne (the pens) There are exceptions to the above-mentioned Italian grammar rule. For example, nouns that denote inanimate objects  are randomly assigned a gender.  It is best to continually practice these words in order to memorize them and their gender.  See examples below. larte (the art) feminine il bicchiere (the glass) masculine Also, dont be fooled by nouns that are commonly shortened, as their long form reveals their  true gender. See examples below. la bici=la bicicletta (the bicycle) la foto=la fotografia (the photograph) la moto= la motocicletta (the motorcycle) Number (Singular and Plural) Once youve learned how to identify whether a noun is masculine or feminine, another important component to learning Italian  grammar is how number affects nouns. Feminine Nouns and Adjectives When we pluralize a noun, it generally follows the rule that the -a ending in feminine singular nouns changes to -e, and the -o ending in masculine singular nouns changes to -i.  The same applies to adjectives. See examples below. la donna (the woman) becomes le donne (the women) la  città (the city) becomes le  città (the cities) il letto  (the bed) becomes i letti (the beds) However, what happens when the ending is a little different to begin with?  If its a feminine singular noun or adjective that ends in -ca or -ga, we want to preserve the hard sound, therefore, the plural then ends in -che or -ghe. See examples below: la giacca (the jacket) becomes  le giacche (the jackets) la pianta larga (the wide sole) becomes le piante larghe (the wide soles) Feminine singular nouns that end in -cia or -gia drop the -i in the plural and thus the ending becomes -ce or -ge. This is to preserve the same sound and syllabication that occurs in the singular. See examples below. la faccia (the face)  becomes le facce (the faces) la spiaggia (the beach)  becomes le spiagge  (the beaches) The only exception to this rule is in the case of  la camicia  (the shirt) which retains its -i in the plural le camicie  (the shirts). If the stress lands on the -i in the -cia or -gia ending, though, then the noun retains the -i in the plural, with the ending -cie or -gie. See examples below. la pasticceria (the pastry shop) becomes le pasticcerie (the pastry shops) la bugia (the lie) becomes le bugie (the lies) Masculine Nouns and Adjectives For masculine nouns and adjectives, the ones that end in -co turn to -chi or -ci in the plural. The identifying factor is the accentuation if the stress is on the next-to-last syllable, the plural ending should be -chi. Nouns ending in -co that have the stress on the third-to-last syllable turn to -ci in the plural. See examples below. Il pacco (the package) becomes i pacchi (the packages) Il giocho (the game)  becomes i giochi (the games) Il medico (the doctor) becomes i medici (the doctors) il cucciolo stanco (the tired puppy)  becomes i cuccioli stanchi (the tired puppies) There are a few exceptions, though, like words originally from Greek and other ones that simply dont follow the rule. Here are some common words that are exceptions: lamico (the friend)  becomes gli amici (the friends) il greco (the Greek)  becomes i greci ( the Greeks) One last ending that changes from singular to plural is that of masculine nouns and adjectives ending in -go. These nouns change to -ghi in the plural. For example: Il dialogo (the dialogue)  becomes i dialoghi (the dialogues) Il capello lungo (the individual strand of long hair)  becomes i capelli lunghi ( the head of long hair) The only exception to this rule is nouns that end in -go that stem from a longer ending of -ologo. This ending creates a plural ending of -ologi. For example: Lo psicologo (the psychologist)  becomes gli psicologi (the psychologists) Il radiologo (the radiologist)  becomes i radiologi (the radiologists) While there are many different Italian grammar rules to remember, they are not as difficult to learn as they may seem. In fact, after seeing gender and number usage in context and using them yourself, you will soon be able to distinguish between all the possibilities. Work closely with your Italian tutor to come up with some fun exercises for you to better learn these complex Italian grammar rules. Nadia B. teaches Italian in New York, NY.

Why You Should Opt to Take SAT Subject Tests

Why You Should Opt to Take SAT Subject Tests Stand out from the College Admission Crowd by taking the SAT Subject Tests If you're preparing for college admission you may be wondering if you should take any of the available SAT Subject Tests. These tests are designed for you to showcase your achievement and ability in specific subject areas while enhancing your college application portfolio. When you are applying to colleges you want your portfolio to speak for itself and paint a picture of your strengths, assets, and abilities. These tests help you do just that. Basics of the SAT Subject Tests: Each Subject Testis anhour in length and is based on contentpreviously covered in high school courses. There are 20 different Subject Tests representing fiveacademic areas: history, English, foreign languages, science, andmathematics. The Subject Tests are administered six times per yearin October, November, December, January, May, and June. Not all exams areoffered on all testing dates. It's best to plan ahead to ensure that youare able to take the exams of your choosing. You can sit for three Subject Tests on a single day.You are not allowed to take a Subject Test the same day you take the SATexam. The Language with Listening exams are onlygivenin the first testing hour of each testing day. You can only complete onelistening test per exam date. The professional tutors at Huntington Learning Centerare available to help you prepare for the Subject Tests. We will determineyour initial level of mastery and then work to ensure you are progressingthrough all of the content necessary for success on the exam. It is vital to understand how sitting for the Subject Testscan impact your college applications. Taking these exams allows you to: Stand out from the crowdThe Subject Tests provide youthe opportunity to differentiate yourself from other candidates. Evencolleges and universities that don't require the Subject Tests will likely use the results to make admission decisions. Set yourself apart from thecompetition by showcasing your knowledge and ability. For example, if youare applying to Northwestern University and want to major in Chemical Engineering demonstrating mastery on the Math Level 2 exam and theChemistry exam will provide evidence of your achievement and potential. Showcase your unique abilitiesIf you are an ESL or international student the Subject Tests allow you toshine on exams that don't heavily rely on English language mastery such as science, math, and foreign languages. You can also utilize the SubjectTests to demonstrate your multilingual skills or complete foreign languagecompetency requirements. Huntington Learning Centers offers personalizedtutoring programs for a wide range of Subject Tests. We will create acustomized tutoring plan that uniquely matches your strengths and areas ofneed. Since no two students are alike no two tutoring programs are alikeeither. Provide evidence for your homeschool educationBecause homeschool curriculaare incredibly varied and often designed to meet individual needs, theSubject Tests are an excellent opportunity to add insight to youreducation. Colleges will get a better picture of your education,achievement, and ability while you discover your mastery levels comparedto standardized expectations. Get a jump start on college coursesThe Subject Tests are oftenused to place students in college courses. By taking these tests you may have the opportunity to test out of introductory courses, earn collegecredit, and satisfy basic program requirements. The University of Texas isone college that uses the Subject Tests to determine college credit. Once a student is accepted at the University of Texas the Subject Test scoresare evaluated based on program requirements to help determine placementand possible credit. Paint a complete picture of yourselfYour high school transcriptonly tells the story of courses completed in school. But what abouteverything you learned in other settings? Enrichment programs, distancelearning courses, and self-study will likely not appear on your transcriptbut have an amazing impact on your knowledge and ability. Use the SubjectTests to display additional competency not attained in school. Meet program requirementsSome university programs require applicants complete one or more Subject Tests as part of theirportfolios. As you are compiling your list of possible colleges payattention to the requirements. Plan ahead to take these exams so they canbe included in your application.

GCSE Poem Analysis The Yellow Palm by Robert Minhinnick

GCSE Poem Analysis The Yellow Palm by Robert Minhinnick English Literature GCSE Poem Analysis: The Yellow Palm by Robert Minhinnick What is it about? The poem is a colourful but sensitive account of various sights in Baghdad, each affecting to the poet, who travelled there in the late 1990s.   It describes the results of violence and implies a dreadful explosion without directly showing the reader. The Yellow Palm by Robert Minhinick As I made my way down Palestine Street I watched a funeral pass - all the women waving lilac stems around a coffin made of glass and the face of the man who lay within who had breathed a poison gas. As I made my way down Palestine Street I heard the call to prayer and I stopped at the door of the golden mosque to watch the faithful there but there was blood on the walls and the muezzin’s eyes were wild with his despair. As I made my way down Palestine Street I met two blind beggars And into their hands I pressed my hands with a hundred black dinars; and their salutes were those of the Imperial Guard in the Mother of all Wars. As I made my way down Palestine Street I smelled the wide Tigris, the river smell that lifts the air in a city such as this; but down on my head fell the barbarian sun that knows no armistice. As I made my way down Palestine Street I saw a Cruise missile, a slow and silver caravan on its slow and silver mile, and a beggar child turned up his face and blessed it with a smile. As I made my way down Palestine Street under the yellow palms I saw their branches hung with yellow dates all sweeter than salaams, and when that same child reached up to touch, the fruit fell in his arms. Overview Although the poet says he travels down the street, really we see a parade of characters come past us: a funeral, the faithful responding to the muezzin’s call, ex-soldiers begging for money, the river, a missile and a beggar child.   The missile must explode, but we only know because of the verb ‘fell’ as the dates collapse into the outstretched arms of the beggar.   The poet hides the violence with the picturesque scene â€" but not entirely. Form and Structure The poem is written in six stanzas of six lines, in ballad metre.   The rhyme pattern (which can be notated xaxaxa) is an extended version of simple four-line ballad, which was originally a folk-poem form, but Minhinnick is following in the footsteps of poets like Wordsworth and Auden and many others who have chosen to use the strongly rhythmical pattern to tackle serious subjects.   By doing so in six-line stanzas he has a little more time to develop each image, while still staying true to form and changing the focus regularly. There is a very strong rhythm to the form, with four stressed beats in the first of each two lines and three in the second, leaving a pause that readers or listeners associated with ballad form.   This means that although when read aloud the poem might go faster or slower, it won’t substantially change the emphasis a reader places on the words.   Sometimes there are conflicts with the natural stresses in words, when the rhythmic scheme (the metre) wants us to stress them one way and their normal pronunciation prefers another, such as ‘dinars’ and ‘beggars’.   However, this uncertainty challenges each reading to be thoughtful and considerate of the meaning of the words when perfectly regular verse would not. Rhyme is very important in ballad verse and it’s worth looking at the patterns the poet creates.   In order, the rhyming words of each stanza are ‘pass, glass, gas’; ‘prayer, there, despair’; ‘beggars, dinars, wars’; ‘Tigris, this, armistice’; ‘missile, mile, smile’; ‘palms, salaams, arms’.   The strongest rhyming of the three is arguably the last, meaning that the poem ends with a strangely warm and comforting group of words, quite at odds with the violence unleashed by the explosion of the missile. [If you are a northerner and pronounce ‘pass’ and ‘glass’ with the same short ‘a’ as ‘gas’, then the first trio really rhyme very strongly indeed, which would work to establish the regularity of the verse form.] ‘Tigris, this, armistice’ are a diverse group of words, including one of the very few proper nouns in the poem and coupling it with an abstract noun of particular intangibility.   No-one can touch an ‘armistice’ and it is even hard for troops to maintain one.   In contrast, the wide Tigris has been written of and spoken of for centuries: its existence cannot be in question. Language We’ve already begun to consider the words Minhinnick chooses, so now we might focus on the strongest of his word pictures.   The dates, ‘sweeter than salaams’, mix a literal sweetness of the fruit with the metaphorical sweetness of the welcome the poet has found in Baghdad.   The smile of the beggar child with which he ‘blesses’ the passing cruise missile shows how innocent he is, and how undeserving of suffering. The ‘cruise missile, / a slow and silver caravan / on its slow and silver mile’ has a really sinister air when described like this.   ‘Slow’ is of course impossible for a flying weapon, even though the poet repeats it.   Perhaps he is thinking about the way time seems to slow when we see something awful like a bomb about to hit...   Giving the missile possession of the mile by the little word ‘its’ also gives the weapon a life of its own.   We have to ask why ‘silver’?   The missile might be silver, but the mile it has travelled...   Unless that route has been marked with a streak of fast-moving metal, or perhaps if that silver has again been transferred in our mind.   It might be tempting to say that this is ‘just poetry’, but the power of this poetry is that it sparks a hundred other ideas and thoughts in our head.   And to call the missile a ‘silver caravan’ is a dreadful joke: it doesn’t bring prosperity, but pain and grief.   It might have been expensiv e and valuable, but nobody wants it to arrive at the market on Palestine Street.   The people there have already seen enough suffering.

Rod Blagojevich Not Leaving Jail Early

Rod Blagojevich Not Leaving Jail Early Photo Via: http://chicagotonight.wttw.com Blagojevich’s defense was an apology, as well as a claim to being a “changed man” and a “model prisoner” during his sentence to date. Still, Judge Zagel imposed the same sentence originally given back in 2011. He claims, “I do not doubt that he is a loving father and that his children miss him deeply in his absence, but as I said four years ago, the fault lies in the governor.” Blagojevich, now 59 years old, will now be forced to finish out his sentence through May 2024. After the court adjourned, Amy gestured towards Zagel’s bench and claimed, “He stole my childhood!” Patti spoke with anger to reporters as well, claiming “Quite frankly, I’m dumbfounded and flabbergasted. This was unusually cruel and heartless and unfair … Somehow, we will get through this. We love Rod. And we’ll be here for him as we continue to fight.” So what is this long sentence being served for? Back in 2011 Blagojevich was convicted of misusing his powers for multiple different reasons. The most notable was his attempt to sell a U.S. Senate seat Barack Obama’s in 2008 when he was elected president. During the initial trial, the jury was deadlocked on all but one count. The conviction came less than a year later. An appeals court threw out five counts against Blagojevich last year on technicalities, though they still referred to the evidence against him as “overwhelming” and stated his sentence was completely within reason. Though it was predicted Zagel would shave a year or two off of this sentence, on Tuesday, he completely put these ideas to rest. According to Jeffery Cramer, a former federal prosecutor, “In the end, Judge Zagel remained steadfast in his view of the crimes and this defendant.” This is frustrating for Blagojevich, especially since he’s waited nearly four and a half years for this day in court. Blagojevich’s lawyer, Leonard Goodman, told the judge that the remaining charges against Blagojevich were “significantly different” and that he never profited, despite his attempts. According to Goodman, “we believe he is ready to come home.” Goodman asked for the sentence to be lessened to five years. His daughters also made their pleas, appealing to an emotional side. According to Annie, “I almost don’t want to grow up because I want to wait for him to come home.” Amy, however, is already in college, which she alluded to in her plea. She said it “kills” her father that he can’t meet the new people in her life. She says, “the longer my father is gone, the more and more estranged my sister and I become from him.” Blagojevich was given 15 minutes for remarks, during which he apologized, but didn’t state the crimes for which he was convicted. He said, “I recognize it was my actions and my words that led me here. This can be a beginning to make amends for the past.” Prosecutors, however, claimed the ex-governor hadn’t changed at all. They claim he never took responsibility, and his actions prove nothing has changed. According to Attorney Debra Bonamici, “As long as the defendant is unable or unwilling to accept responsibility for what he actually did and what he actually meant when he did it, there can be no rehabilitation.” According to Zagel, “He sees himself as less morally culpable, but I don’t draw such a clear moral distinction. As in many cases, political and personal gains were very much intermingled here.” After the hearing, Blagojevich conveyed his disappointment at the verdict to reporters. Despite a large show of familial support and the reading of letters written by prisoners that befriended Blagojevich during his sentence, the ex-governor ultimately failed to show any tangible change especially in his inability to address his charges head-on and accept his responsibility. However, this technically isn’t the end. According to Goodman, he could still appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court at this point; however, they have already declined to hear the case in March so it’s unlikely they’re going to change their minds now. Ultimately, saying that you’re reformed apologizing with meaninglessness isn’t going to get you out of jail. So if, by some miracle, the Supreme Court picks up his case, Blagojevich is going to need a serious change of heart, or he’s likely going to serve out the entirety of his 14-year sentence.

Anaheim Physics Tutor Tip What is a Joule - TutorNerds

Anaheim Physics Tutor Tip What is a Joule - TutorNerds Anaheim Physics Tutor Tip: What is a Joule? A Better Understanding of Energy Anaheim Physics Tutor Tip: What is a Joule? A Better Understanding of Energy A common difficulty for physics students is conceptualizing new measures and what they represent.   It’s easy enough to understand meters and seconds since we’re used to these concepts of distance and time.   Other units, however, that aren’t as common in our day-to-day can be harder to understand.   As an Anaheim physics tutor and physics teacher, I’ve found that if students have a strong understanding of units and learn to trace and connect different units, that it dramatically in both their physics understanding and their physics grades. We have already discussed this concept when reviewing the concept of the Newton.   Now, we will be discussing another common contributor to physics confusion: the Joule. The joule is a measure of energy.   This is probably a concept you are familiar with, but not in specific scientific terms like it is used in physics.   Here, energy is the unit that is transferred in order to do work on something or to heat something.   However, this definition is not usually very helpful in helping students understand what one joule is.   Instead, let’s try to get a better picture by looking at some of the equations that include it: Our first equation is one that you will work with often in introductory physics classes which is the equation for kinetic energy.   Here, kinetic energy is defined as one-half of the mass times the velocity squared.   This represents the energy that a moving object has.   That’s why our only variables are mass and velocity.   The heavier a moving object is, the more energy it has; and the faster an object is, the more energy it has.   Now, let’s break these variables down into their units: As we just discussed, the unit for energy (including kinetic energy) is the joule.   The unit for mass is kilograms, and velocity is meters per second.   By squaring the velocity units like in the equation, we get to this simplified unit definition of joules (note that the “one half” isn’t a variable and doesn’t have units â€" it’s just a number). We’ve now seen one explanation of the joule as it’s used in kinetic energy.   However, in physics, we use lots of equations for joules.   If a joule is always a unit of energy, then it should be the same regardless of which equation we use.   Let’s try again with another common introductory physics equation: potential energy. Potential energy is determined by the weight of an object and how far it is from the ground.   Specifically, this is called gravitational potential energy â€" it’s the energy caused from separating objects with mass from each other where there is a force from gravity.   In most introductory physics applications, the gravity we are talking about is from the earth, which is approximately 9.8 meters per seconds squared. Again, our unit of energy is the joule, mass is kilograms, the acceleration from gravity (“g”) is meters per seconds squared, and height is measured in meters.   Again, we only care about the units, so we’ll drop the 9.8 and multiply the units to get our simplified definition: Notice that we got the same answer when using both kinetic energy and potential energy: even though they’re different equations, they lead to the same definition.   Let’s try one more time with a different equation. Remember that energy can be defined as the ability to do work.  As such, we often use equations that involve equating work and energy.   So, we may have an object with a starting kinetic energy, but some of that energy is lost when it does work.   This means that work is measured in joules, but how can that be if the equation looks so different?   Work is the applied force multiplied by the distance it is applied for (specifically the displacement).   Let’s see what happens if we break it down into the units. Work is measured in joules, force is in newtons, and distance is in meters.   However, we already learned that newtons can be broken into its definition in basic units (***see here again for newton post*****). Newtons are now written as kilogram*meters per seconds squared.   This clears up our equation a lot, because now if we multiply by the last unit of meters we get our simplified equation: Which is the same as our definition that we found when using the kinetic or potential energy equations. For fun, you can also think about the famous physics equation (that is not often used in introductory physics classes) of E=mc2.   This equation is also for energy, and is measured in joules.   Here, “c” is the speed of light, which â€" since it’s a speed â€" is measured in meters per second.   See what you get if you break this equation into its fundamental units and if it is the same as our definitions above. Learning how these new units can be broken down into fundamental units can help with your understanding of physics and your execution of equations when taking tests or solving problems.   Take the time to break up your equations into fundamental units and you may be surprised at how related many of them are.

6 Comedians College Students Love

6 Comedians College Students Love Photo Via: pixabay.com 1. Chris D’Elia Perhaps best known for his interpretation of drunk girls, Chris D’Elia is a college favorite, and for good reason. While his stand-up is a bit on the vulgar side, he is a comedian that speaks best to the millennial generation, as his routines are young, fun and upbeat. That being said, he is currently touring and has tickets available for sale, so if you’re looking for a new comedian that’s likely to speak his mind, this is your guy! 2. Iliza Shlesinger A newer comedian growing exponentially in fame, Iliza Shlesinger brings the female voice to comedy in letting her viewers in on the inner workings of the female brain. Spoiler alert: there’s a lot going on there. For a preview, check out her comedy album “War Paint,” and you’ll probably get the idea. She has incredible impressions/voice gimmicks that set her stand-up aside from similar female comedians, and it’s her relatability that really resonates with her audience. Again, Iliza is currently touring so tickets are now available for all looking for a good laugh! 3. John Mulaney If you’re going to watch one bit, and one bit only, of John Mulaney’s, I strongly suggest the Salt and Pepper Diner. And once you’ve seen that bit, there’s no doubt that you’ll want to watch the rest of the stand-up that Mulaney has to offer. The Chicago native has had several specials on Netflix, still available for your perusal, and is currently on tour as well, which means that you can see him live. And trust me, you’re going to want to. His super relatable, self-deprecating stand-up routine is going to have you in stitches, without a shadow of a doubt. You’ll fall in love with his dog, Petunia, and you’ll fall even harder for his stand-up routine. 4. Amy Schumer One of the biggest names in comedy right now, Amy Schumer has starred in several films, performed stand-up in more cities than you can count and still manages to maintain a semi-normal, relatable and understandable personal life. Schumer’s voice is offensive as much as it is full of heart, which sets her stand-up in a league of its own. She isn’t afraid to offend anyone just as she isn’t afraid to be herself, whatever that means. If you’re looking for honest stand-up that will have you laughing (and likely cringing as well), this is the person to see! 5. Kevin Hart While currently under a bit of a magnifying glass due to past comments that have taken him out of the running for the Oscars hosting gig, his stand up is still one of the best acts that comedy has to offer.  Kevin Hart has sold out stadiums with his stand-up routine, and for good reason. Hart is certainly self-deprecating, but he also has that charisma and natural stage presence that keeps you enthralled from the beginning to the end of his routine. Hart pokes fun at himself, his celebrity friends, money, love life, kids: anything you can think of, he has probably made fun of it. And you can bet it’s hilarious, no matter what! 6. Gabriel Iglesias Known more commonly by his fans as Fluffy, Gabriel Iglesias is the first to tell you that he is not a Hispanic comedian. He’s just a comedian… that happens to be Hispanic. Iglesias can use his voice in ways that are unrecognizable, makes people laugh with his stories of fame and fortune as well as those of his personal, very normal life. Really, Iglesias can make just about everything funny, and after watching just one of his stand-up specials, you will definitely find yourself in love with the comedian. They say that laughter is the best medicine, which holds true in the world of comedians. So while you may have found yourself at the brink of stress throughout the entirety of the past month, it’s time to finally relax and have a good time and, of course, laugh. When it comes to having a good laugh, these six comedians will have you clenching your stomach in fits of laughter, guaranteed. So whether you’re gifting tickets to a friend, family member or roommate, or simply treating yourself to a night on the town full of laughter, these comedians all put on quite a show.
