Usage Note
Piani is the regular plural of piano (m). It covers both 'floors of a building' (al secondo piano) and 'plans/schemes' (i piani del governo). Context distinguishes the two senses. As a standalone plural entry, learners should note that piano also means 'slowly' or 'softly' as an adverb, but piani is only the noun plural.
Examples
"L'edificio ha cinque piani."
Natural Translation
The building has five floors.
