"È pronta a iniziare?"

[PatrickGos4]

Why not 'he' is ready to start?

[Donna_Diana]

Because it says pronta, which indicates a female. It would be pronto for a male.

Why can't this mean 'Is it ready to start'?

[mukkapazza]

It does now ;) but keep in mind a sentence like this would generally refer to a female

Thanks! :)

Shouldn't it be 'Ė pronta ad iniziare'?

[Ariaflame]

It might be, but a and i are not the same vowel sounds so it's not mandatory.

Ok, thanks.
