Italian word

ampio

wide, spacious, large, ample

Looks like

ample

more than enough; fairly large

⚠️ The trap

'Ampio' primarily describes physical size/space in Italian (a wide room, a spacious house). English 'ample' more often means 'more than sufficient' (ample time, ample food). Don't use 'ampio' to say you have ample time — say 'abbastanza tempo' or 'tempo sufficiente'.

To say "more than enough; fairly large" in Italian:

N/A (partial overlap)

"ampio" in English means:

wide, spacious, large, ample

Example

"Il loro appartamento è ampio e luminoso."

"Their apartment is spacious and bright."
