climatici

Climatici is the masculine plural form of the Italian adjective climatico, meaning "relating to climate." It is used to describe masculine plural nouns in contexts such as meteorology, geography, ecology, and everyday language, serving a grammatical rather than a standalone concept.

Etymology: The term derives from Latin climaticus, itself from Greek klimatikos, meaning related to a zone or climate, ultimately connected to klima, the root for climate. The form climatico entered Italian to describe things associated with weather patterns and climate.

Usage and examples: Climatici appears in phrases like fattori climatici (climatic factors), condizioni climatiche (climatic conditions), and fenomeni climatici (climatic phenomena). It is also used in scientific terms such as parametri climatici (climatic parameters) and cambiamenti climatici (climate changes). The word collaborates with both singular and plural nouns, adjusting its ending to match the gender and number of the noun it modifies.

Gender and agreement: Climatici corresponds to masculine plural nouns; feminine plural uses climatiche (e.g., condizioni climatiche). Singular forms are climatico (masculine) and climatica (feminine). Proper agreement is required in Italian sentences, so "zone climatiche" (feminine plural) and "fattori climatici" (masculine plural) illustrate the rules.
