Italian word
vendita
sale, selling (activity or transaction)
Looks like
vend / vendor
to vend = to sell from a machine; vendor = a seller
⚠️ The trap
In Italian, 'vendita' is the standard word for a sale or the act of selling. English 'vendor' is now widely used in B2B contexts to mean supplier/contractor, while 'venditore' in Italian more specifically means salesperson. In Italian procurement 'fornitore' is preferred for vendor/supplier.
To say "to vend = to sell from a machine; vendor = a seller" in Italian:
vendita (sale); venditore (seller/vendor)
"vendita" in English means:
sale, selling (activity or transaction)
Example
"Il reparto vendite ha superato gli obiettivi del trimestre."
"The sales department exceeded its quarterly targets."
