Italian word

trailer

(borrowed) film trailer / preview

Looks like

trailer

a preview of a film; a vehicle towed behind a car; a mobile home

⚠️ The trap

In Italian 'trailer' is used exclusively for the cinematic preview. The vehicle you tow behind a car is 'rimorchio' or 'roulotte' (caravan). English speakers misuse 'trailer' as a mobile home — Italians would say 'casa mobile' or 'roulotte'.

To say "a preview of a film; a vehicle towed behind a car; a mobile home" in Italian:

trailer (correct for film preview); rimorchio (for vehicle trailer)

"trailer" in English means:

(borrowed) film trailer / preview

Example

"Il trailer del nuovo film di Nolan è già virale."

"The trailer for the new Nolan film is already going viral."
