Did you know that some nouns in Italian change their meaning when the gender of the noun changes?

Some examples:

il boa boa

la boa buoy

Una boa (a buoy)

il fine goal, objective

la fine end

il fonte font

la fonte source

il pianeta planet

la pianeta chasuble*

*This is a cbasuble. According to Oxford Languages, “a sleeveless outer vestment worn by a Catholic or High Anglican priest when celebrating Mass, typically ornate and having a simple hole for the head.”
