A1🔤 Letters B & C
Italian word
conto
bill (in a restaurant), account (bank), count
Looks like
count
to enumerate; a nobleman; a number total
⚠️ The trap
Conto can mean the restaurant bill, a bank account, or a count/calculation — but it is not commonly used as the verb 'to count' (that is 'contare'). Asking for 'il conto' in a restaurant is natural and common.
To say "to enumerate; a nobleman; a number total" in Italian:
conto → bill, account; contare → to count
"conto" in English means:
bill (in a restaurant), account (bank), count
Example
"Cameriere, il conto per favore."
"Waiter, the bill please."
