B2🔤 Letters B & C
Italian word
casualità
coincidence, chance occurrence
Looks like
casualty
a person killed or injured in an accident or war
⚠️ The trap
A dangerous mix-up: saying 'ci sono molte casualità' means 'there are many coincidences', not 'there are many casualties'. For war casualties use 'vittime' or 'feriti'.
To say "a person killed or injured in an accident or war" in Italian:
vittima, ferito
"casualità" in English means:
coincidence, chance occurrence
Example
"Per pura casualità ci siamo incontrati in aeroporto."
"By pure coincidence we met at the airport."
