Not All -a Endings Are Feminine in Italian
Generally speaking, Italian words ending in “-a” are feminine, while those ending in “-o” are masculine. The plurals of such feminine words often end in “-e,” much like masculine plurals often end in “-i.”
For example:
La casa / Le case (house, feminine singular / plural)
L’amica / Le amiche (female friend, feminine singular / plural)
La sveglia / Le sveglie
