B1🔤 Letters T–Z
Italian word
ultimo
last, final; most recent
Looks like
ultimate
being the last or best; most extreme
⚠️ The trap
English 'ultimate' implies the best or the most extreme version. Italian 'ultimo' just means 'last' or 'most recent'. Saying 'è l'ultima sfida' means 'it's the final challenge', not 'the ultimate challenge'.
To say "being the last or best; most extreme" in Italian:
ultimo (last/most recent); definitivo/massimo (for ultimate)
"ultimo" in English means:
last, final; most recent
Example
"Questa è l'ultima volta che te lo dico."
"This is the last time I'm telling you."
