invisibile

invisible

adjective een-vee-ZEE-bee-leh Rare

Usage Note

Invisibile is invariable for gender (un uomo invisibile / una donna invisibile) but takes regular -i plural (invisibili). It is used literally and figuratively: rendersi invisibile means to make oneself scarce or go unnoticed. False-friend caution: English 'invisible' matches perfectly — no trap here, but learners sometimes mispronounce it.

Examples

"Il filo di nylon è quasi invisibile."

Natural Translation

The nylon thread is almost invisible.
