What size is for a seven-year-old child?
'Bambino' — bam-BI-no. Three syllables.
Ask when buying children's clothing as a gift or for a child you are with. Italian children's sizing is age-based but varies significantly between brands — always mention height if you know it.
Italian children's sizes are listed by age: 'anni' (years). 'Che taglia è per un bambino di sette anni?' — 'what size is for a seven-year-old?'. More accurate than age alone: 'l'altezza è 122 centimetri' (height is 122cm).
L'altezza è centoventidue centimetri.
The height is one hundred and twenty-two centimetres.
Height is more reliable than age for sizing.
È per una bambina di cinque anni.
It is for a five-year-old girl.
