A2🔤 Letters R & S
Italian word
resto
the rest (remainder); change (money)
Looks like
rest
relaxation; to relax; what remains
⚠️ The trap
'Resto' means the remainder or monetary change, not rest/relaxation. For 'rest' as in relaxation, say 'riposo'. Saying 'Ho bisogno di resto' would mean you need change, not a break.
To say "relaxation; to relax; what remains" in Italian:
riposo, riposarsi (for rest/relaxation)
"resto" in English means:
the rest (remainder); change (money)
Example
"Tenga pure il resto."
"Keep the change."
