Italian word

durata

duration, length (of time)

Looks like

duration

the length of time something lasts

⚠️ The trap

Good match. But 'di lunga durata' = 'long-lasting', and Italians use 'durata' for shelf life of products too. 'Data di scadenza' (expiry date) and 'lunga durata' (long shelf life) are practical uses.

To say "the length of time something lasts" in Italian:

durata

"durata" in English means:

duration, length (of time)

Example

"La durata del film è due ore."

"The duration of the film is two hours."
