Is google translate reliable?
  • Kttimlin August 2015
    Hi, I am on chapter 6 and was trying to write a few of my own Italian sentences for practice. I've been using google translate to check my work. I translated "My bicycle is very old" as "La mia bicicletta e' molta vecchia."  When I tried to translate that sentence using google, it said: "La mia bicicletta e' molto vecchio." Which is correct?
    Thanks, Ken.

    Dear Ken,

    Google translator is not always reliable and I'm happy to tell you that your translation is the correct one! In Italian, adjectives agree in gender (masculine or feminine) and number (singular or plural) with the noun they describe.
