fenomenali

Fenomenali is the plural masculine and feminine form of the Italian adjective fenomenale, meaning extraordinary, remarkable, or phenomenal. The singular form fenomenale is used for both masculine and feminine nouns; the plural fenomenali is used for both genders (e.g., una prestazione fenomenale; due prestazioni fenomenali; le prestazioni fenomenali).

The term derives from fenomeno (phenomenon) with the suffix -ale, and ultimately traces back to the Greek phainomenon through Latin and the development of Italian vocabulary. As an adjective, fenomenale agrees in number but not in gender distinction in the singular, where fenomenale is used for both masculine and feminine, and in the plural where fenomenali serves for both.

Usage notes: fenomenale is a common descriptor in everyday speech and media to praise people, performances, results, or objects. In formal writing, it is often replaced by more neutral terms such as notevole, eccezionale, or straordinario, depending on context. The word can carry a strong positive connotation and may be used hyperbolically in advertising or entertainment reporting. It can also appear in titles or slogans as a branding choice, though not every usage is appropriate in encyclopedic or objective contexts.

Examples: "La sua esibizione è stata fenomenale." "La stagione è stata fenomenale per la squadra." "Le squadre fenomenali hanno conquistato il titolo."
