curiosità

curiosity

noun koo-ryoh-zee-TAH Less Common

Origin: Latin curiositas

Also means

curiosity (odd fact)

Usage Note

Curiosità is invariable: the plural is identical to the singular (una curiosità / due curiosità) — accent words ending in a stressed vowel never add -e or -i. It means both the trait of being curious and an interesting oddity: una curiosità storica (a historical curiosity / fun fact). The accent on the final syllable is written and shifts the stress there: koo-ryoh-zee-TAH.

Examples

"La sua curiosità non ha limiti."

Natural Translation

His curiosity knows no bounds.

Literal Translation

The his curiosity not has limits.
