What is the Italian 'bell'auto' in English?

Answer 1

"Beautiful car" is an English equivalent of "bell'auto."

The feminine adjective "bella"* means "beautiful." The feminine noun "auto" means "car." Its singular definite article is "l"** ("the"), and its singular indefinite article is "una" ("a, one").

The pronunciation is "behl-LOW-***toh."

*The vowel "a" of "bella" drops before a noun that begins with a vowel. The temporary nature of the drop is indicated by an apostrophe: "bell'auto."

**The feminine singular definite article actually is "la." But the vowel "a" drops before a noun that begins with a noun. The temporary nature of the drop is indicated by an apostrophe: "l'auto."

***The sound "ow" is similar to that in the English exclamation of pain "ow."
