A1🔤 Letters O & P
Italian word
ora
hour; now; the time
Looks like
hour
a period of 60 minutes
⚠️ The trap
'Ora' as 'now' is one of its most common uses. Learners used to 'adesso' for 'now' are confused when they hear 'ora' used the same way. Both are correct. Also: 'per ora' = for now; 'd'ora in poi' = from now on; 'un'ora' = one hour.
To say "a period of 60 minutes" in Italian:
ora (correct for both hour and now)
"ora" in English means:
hour; now; the time
Example
"Ora andiamo! Sono già le tre."
"Let's go now! It's already three o'clock."
