Question 14

Nessun problema

Answer 14

Problema is one of a surprisingly long list of Italian nouns that are actually masculine, and take a masculine article (il/un), despite having a feminine-looking form (ending in a)

problemi (yep, the plural is masculine) already just getting to grips with the whole gender thing.

• Sto avendo dei problemi con questo
• I’m having some problems with this

But the thing to remember is that this rule usually applies to nouns that end in ‘ema’, because these words usually come from ancient Greek. Other words that fit this description include un dilemma (a dilemma), un sistema (a system), un poema (a poem), un fantasma (a ghost), and il clima (the climate).

So, how do you really say “no problem” in Italian…?
- Nessun problema
