Usage Note

Divertente is invariable for gender — un film divertente, una storia divertente — but adds -i in the plural: film divertenti, storie divertenti. It covers both 'funny' (comical) and 'entertaining' (enjoyable), so context distinguishes them. The related verb is divertire ('to amuse') and the reflexive divertirsi ('to have fun, to enjoy oneself').

Examples

"Lo spettacolo era molto divertente."

Natural Translation

The show was very entertaining.
