Ho dimenticato il caricatore in albergo.

I left my charger at the hotel.

Pronunciation

'Caricatore' — ca-ri-ca-TO-re. Five syllables; stress on the fourth.

When to use it

Say this when you have already checked out and left your charger behind. Contact the hotel immediately — the housekeeping staff often find and hold chargers for several days.

What it means

'Ho dimenticato' (I forgot/left behind) + object + 'in albergo' (at the hotel). 'In albergo' uses 'in' for the general location without a specific article — compare 'nell'albergo' (in the specific hotel). The shorter 'in albergo' is more natural for this use.

Variations

L'albergo può spedirmelo?

Can the hotel send it to me?

Dove compro un adattatore?

Where do I buy an adapter?

Italian plugs are type F (European round pin).

Avete un caricatore universale?

Do you have a universal charger?

Many hotel receptions keep spare chargers.

Cultural Note

Italian hotels receive and hold lost property for varying periods — typically 30 to 90 days. They can ship items internationally via courier at the guest's expense. Italian power sockets use type F (round two-pin European) and type L (three-pin Italian) plugs — UK and US visitors need adapters.
