Ho lasciato la valigia sul pullman.

I left my suitcase on the coach.

Pronunciation

'Pullman' — 'PUL-man'. Two syllables; stress on first. Used in Italian for intercity coaches.

When to use it

Report to the coach company office or driver when you realise your luggage is still in the coach's luggage hold after you have disembarked.

What it means

'Pullman' is the Italian word for an intercity coach. 'Ho lasciato' is the passato prossimo of 'lasciare' (to leave/forget). Luggage in the underfloor hold of Italian coaches must be claimed immediately — the bus continues to the next stop.

'Bagagliaio' is the underfloor hold of a coach or car boot.
