coincidenza

coincidence

noun koh-een-chee-DEN-tsah Rare

Also means

connection

Usage Note

Coincidenza means both 'coincidence' (a chance occurrence) and a 'connection' in travel — perdere la coincidenza means 'to miss a connection' (train, flight). This dual use can trip up learners: at a train station hai preso la coincidenza? means 'did you make your connection?', not 'did you notice the coincidence?'

Examples

"Ho perso la coincidenza per Milano."

Natural Translation

I missed the connection to Milan.
