This article is a comprehensive list of adjectives which may be useful to you. <\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-do-you-describe-someone-s-physical-appearance-in-italian\">How do you describe someone&#8217;s physical appearance in Italian? <\/h2>\n\n\n<p><strong>As a general rule, to describe a person&#8217;s physical appearance in Italian, you can use the form &#8220;he\/ she is&#8230;.&#8221; followed by the adjective, which needs to agree in gender and number with the person being described. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><em>Lui \u00e8 alto<\/em> (singular masculine) = he is tall<\/li><li><em>Lei \u00e8 alta<\/em> (singular feminine) = she is tall<\/li><li><em>Loro sono alti<\/em> (plural masculine) = they are tall<\/li><li><em>Loro sono alte<\/em> (plural feminine) = they are tall <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Alternatively, when describing a particular body part or element of a person, you can use the form &#8220;he\/ she has&#8230;.&#8221; followed by the element you are describing and the adjective referred to it. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><em>Lui ha i capelli biondi <\/em>= he has blond hair <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Note that the word &#8220;hair&#8221;, &#8220;i capelli&#8221;, is masculine, and used mostly in its plural form in Italian, so the adjectives referred to it will be in their masculine and plural form. <\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-to-describe-a-person-s-build-in-italian\">How to describe a person&#8217;s build in Italian <\/h2>\n\n\n<p>This is a list of adjectives that you can use to describe a person&#8217;s build in Italian, with example sentences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The highlighted words in the examples flag the gender and number agreement between the adjectives and the words that they refer to, if they are present in the sentence. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><li><strong>Alto<\/strong> &#8211;
