vario
various

varied
Usage Note
Vario in the plural (vari/varie) commonly precedes nouns to mean 'several' or 'a number of', e.g., vari problemi ('various problems'). In the singular it stresses diversity or changeability. It is not a false friend, but English 'various' is almost always its plural counterpart.
Examples
"Ho letto vari libri su quel tema."
