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."

Natural Translation

I have read various books on that topic.
