comodità

comfort

noun koh-moh-dee-TAH Rare

Origin: From Latin commoditas (convenience), from commodus (suitable).

Also means

convenience

Usage Note

Comodità is feminine and invariable in the plural — le comodità (same form). The written accent signals final stress: koh-moh-dee-TAH. It refers to physical comfort, ease, or a convenient amenity (le comodità di casa = 'the comforts of home'). Do not confuse with comodino (bedside table) or comodo (comfortable, convenient) — the adjective. The root comodo is also a false friend: it means comfortable/convenient, not 'commode' (toilet).

Examples

"L'appartamento offre molte comodità."

Natural Translation

The apartment offers many comforts.
