economico

economic

adjective eh-koh-NOH-mee-koh Common

Also means

cheap

Usage Note

Economico means both 'economic' (crescita economica = 'economic growth') and 'economical / cheap' (un albergo economico = 'a cheap hotel'). This double sense is a useful false friend trap: an English speaker might miss the 'cheap' meaning. Plural forms: economici / economiche.

Examples

"Cerco un ristorante economico."

Natural Translation

I'm looking for an affordable restaurant.
