Italian word
parcheggio
car park, parking lot; parking space
Looks like
parking
the act or place of parking a vehicle
⚠️ The trap
A reliable word but learners make pronunciation errors. Also: 'parcheggiare' = to park (verb). 'Divieto di parcheggio' = no parking. 'Parcheggio a pagamento' = paid parking. Don't say 'parking' as a noun — Italians do use 'parking' as a loanword sometimes but 'parcheggio' is standard.
To say "the act or place of parking a vehicle" in Italian:
parcheggio (correct)
"parcheggio" in English means:
car park, parking lot; parking space
Example
"C'è un parcheggio gratuito vicino alla stazione."
"There is a free car park near the station."
