cammino

path

noun kahm-MEE-noh Less Common

Also means

journey

Usage Note

Cammino (m.) denotes both a literal path or route and a figurative journey or course (il cammino verso la pace). The expression essere in cammino means to be on one's way. Do not confuse with camino (one m) meaning 'fireplace' or 'chimney' — a classic double-consonant trap.

Examples

"Siamo a metà del cammino."

Natural Translation

We are halfway along the path.

Literal Translation

We-are at half of-the path.
