Usage Note
Idea lives in the everyday phrase non ho idea ('I have no idea') and neanche per idea! ('no way!'). It is feminine, so it takes un'idea with an apostrophe in the singular; the plural is idee.
Examples
"Ho un'idea fantastica!"
Natural Translation
I have a fantastic idea!
Literal Translation
I-have an idea fantastic!
