parking = the act of parking a vehicle
⚠️ The trap
Borrowed from French 'parquer'. The act of parking is 'parcheggiare'. The physical space is 'parcheggio'. English speakers say 'parking' for both — in Italian you must distinguish between the action and the place.
To say "parking = the act of parking a vehicle" in Italian:
parcheggio
"parcheggio" in English means:
car park, parking area
Example
"C'è un parcheggio gratuito vicino all'albergo."
"There is a free car park near the hotel."
