The singular mozzafiata and the plural mozzafiatein the feminine and the singular mozzafiato and the plural mozzafiati in the masculine are Italian equivalents of the English word "breathtaking." Context makes clear whether one (cases 1, 3) or more (examples 2, 4) of someone or something female or feminine (instances 1, 2), male or masculine (options 3, 4) or mixed female or feminine and male or masculine (sample 4) suits even though newbie language-speakers tend to opt for the third choice no matter what.

The respective pronunciations will be "MOT-tsa-FYA-ta" or MOT-tsa-FYA-tey" in the feminine and "MOT-tsa-FYA-to" or "MOT-tsa-FYA-tee" in the masculine in Italian.
