⚠️ The trap
'Edificio' is the standard everyday word for 'building' in Italian. English 'edifice' is formal and implies grandeur. Don't use 'edifice' to translate 'edificio' in normal English — just say 'building'.
To say "a large impressive building (somewhat formal)" in Italian:
edificio
"edificio" in English means:
building, structure, edifice
Example
"È un edificio moderno."
"It's a modern building."
