Automobilistiche

Automobilistiche is the feminine plural form of the Italian adjective automobilistico, used to describe things related to automobiles or the automotive industry. The base word automobilistico comes from automobile plus the suffix -istico, indicating relation or characteristic. In Italian, adjectives agree with the nouns they modify in gender and number, so automobilistiche is used with feminine plural nouns such as aziende automobilistiche (car manufacturers), case automobilistiche (car companies), industrie automobilistiche (automotive industries), or tecnologie automobilistiche (automotive technologies). The masculine plural form is automobilistici and the feminine singular form is automobilistica.
