chance
Usage Note
Caso has two very different meanings in Italian: a 'case' or situation (in ogni caso = 'in any case') and pure chance or accident (per caso = 'by chance'). The plural casi is regular. A learner false friend: Italian caso can feel like English 'case' but never means a suitcase (valigia).
Examples
"In ogni caso, devi rispondere."
Natural Translation
In any case, you have to answer.
