Italian word
locale
local train (stops at every station); also a venue/place (bar, restaurant)
Looks like
local
local = nearby, from the area
⚠️ The trap
On Italian trains, 'locale' specifically means the slowest category of regional train that stops everywhere. Don't confuse with 'locale' meaning a bar or nightclub.
To say "local = nearby, from the area" in Italian:
treno locale
"locale" in English means:
local train (stops at every station); also a venue/place (bar, restaurant)
Example
"Prendi il locale, non l'Intercity — ci mette il doppio."
"Take the local train, not the Intercity — it takes twice as long."
