ecologi
ecologists
noun eh-KOH-loh-jee Rare
Origin: Greek 'oikos' (house) + 'logos' (study)
Usage Note
Ecologi is the standard masculine plural of ecologo. Note that here the -go ending becomes -gi with a soft 'g' sound (ecòlogi), unlike dialogo → dialoghi, which keeps the hard 'g'. A common learner error is ecologici, which is the adjective plural.
Examples
"Gli ecologi hanno pubblicato i risultati."
Natural Translation
The ecologists published the results.
