single (one); a single (music); singles (tennis)

Looks like

single

one; unmarried; a single room/song

⚠️ The trap

'Singolo' shares most meanings with 'single', but saying you are 'singolo' (unmarried) sounds more formal/neutral than in English. More commonly Italians say 'sono solo' or 'non sono fidanzato' for being single in relationships.

To say "one; unmarried; a single room/song" in Italian:

singolo (true cognate — but nuances differ)

"singolo" in English means:

single (one); a single (music); singles (tennis)

Example

"Vorrei prenotare una camera singola."

"I'd like to book a single room."
