calculation, count
Usage Note
Conto is used for a restaurant bill (Il conto, per favore), a bank account (conto corrente), and a calculation. The idiom rendersi conto (to realize) is essential: 'mi sono reso conto dell'errore' means 'I realized the mistake' — conto here has nothing to do with money, which trips up learners.
Examples
"Posso avere il conto, per favore?"
Natural Translation
Can I have the bill, please?
