When learning a new language, one of the most useful things you can do is learn the words that crop up often. Frequency lists show you words in a language that are used most, well, frequently. In this post, we’ve gathered together the 100 most frequent Italian words \u2013 take a look and see which ones you’re missing!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Learning Italian? You’ve come to the right place!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We’ve used this frequency list<\/a> from Wiktionary to gather together the 100 most common Italian words. Don’t worry about learning them all at once \u2013 if you don’t know most of them already, then you’ll certainly come across them as you keep learning. Plus, this is a long list, so it’s probably most useful to dip in and out and find the ones you don’t know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each word on our list comes with its English definition, the type of word that it is (noun, verb, adjective, etc.) and some example sentences or phrases, many of which have been taken from the uTalk app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oh, and if you add them up, you might find that there’s a few more than 100 on here…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
