un café : masculin

Thanks guys for your helps, I am learning Italian too.

Answer 4

"uno" is the only number that change according to the genre of the noun it's referring to (in Italian every words are masculine or feminine); "uno" as a number follow the same rules as "un, uno, una" as indefinite article.

Pizza is feminine, caffè masculine, so "una pizza" and "un caffè".

Also remember although the majority of noun ending with "a" are feminine, it's not a rule and there are a great quantity of nouns that ends with "a" but are masculine, often those nouns are the same in both masculine and feminine forms, like atleta (athlete) or giornalista (journalist).
