English uses 'ravioli' as both singular and plural

⚠️ The trap

In English, people say 'a ravioli' or 'some raviolis' — both are wrong in Italian. The singular is 'un raviolo', the plural 'ravioli'. This pattern recurs with most Italian pasta names: gnocco/gnocchi, rigatono/rigatoni, etc.

To say "English uses 'ravioli' as both singular and plural" in Italian:

raviolo (singular) / ravioli (plural)

"ravioli" in English means:

square stuffed pasta parcels (plural)

Example

"Un raviolo era finito sul pavimento."

"One raviolo had fallen on the floor."
