Italian word
convento
a convent or monastery
Looks like
convent
a religious community of nuns (and their building)
⚠️ The trap
Convento = convent, but in Italian 'convento' is used for both convents (nuns) and monasteries (monks). In English, a monastery is specifically for monks and a convent for nuns. The Italian is less gender-specific.
To say "a religious community of nuns (and their building)" in Italian:
convento (equivalent, but includes monasteries too)
"convento" in English means:
a convent or monastery
Example
"Le suore vivono in un antico convento in collina."
"The nuns live in an ancient convent on a hill."
