Technically, yes, it does exist. In Italian, "rubato" is an adjective, and if that adjective happens to be modifying a plural (and masculine) noun, it does indeed become "rubati" (as in "gioielli rubati"). However, you are intending it as a noun. "Rubato" only becomes a noun in English, so if you want to pluralize it, you should give it an English plural: rubatos. mdl _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
