Italian word

appartamento

apartment, flat

Looks like

apartment

a self-contained residential unit in a building

⚠️ The trap

These are near-identical in meaning. The only trap is that in British English the preferred word is 'flat', not 'apartment'. An Italian learner of British English might always say 'apartment' and sound slightly American.

To say "a self-contained residential unit in a building" in Italian:

N/A (same meaning)

"appartamento" in English means:

apartment, flat

Example

"Affitto un piccolo appartamento in centro."

"I rent a small apartment in the centre."
