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."
