How do you form the plural of "nazionalitá" in Italian?
Hello, I came upon the word "nationalities" in a textbook, but as I wanted to translate it to Italian, I couldn't find the plural.
La nazionalitá is singular for "nationality". How do you form the plural? Is it "le nazionalite" ? I did come upon one article where they said "tutte le nazionalitá" in italian. Is the singular the same as the plural in this case?
Thanks for your help!

Ciao Cesar, il plurale di "nazionalità" è "nazionalità", non cambia
La nazionalità / le nazionalità
In generale, i sostantivi che finiscono con la lettera "a" accentata (à) rimangono immutati al plurale
Esempi: la libertà / le libertà la città / le città la vanità / le vanità

Ciao Cesar,
here's the quick rule: if the last vowel (any vowel, not just "a") of a noun has a graphic accent, then singular and plural are going to be the same.
La città - le città
L'università - le università
Il sofà - i sofà
Il papà - i papà
Il lunedì - i lunedì
Il perché - i perché
Il comò - i comò
La virtù - le virtù
La tribù - le tribù
Buono studio!

Hello Cesar, it has no plural but the article but, if plural, the article is feminine and plural. So it is correct to say "le nazionaità".
