aereoporto

airport

noun ah-eh-roh-POR-toh Rare

Origin: From Greek 'aer' (air) + 'porto' (port).

Usage Note

Aeroporto is masculine: l'aeroporto, plural gli aeroporti. The misspelling aereoporto (with an extra 'e') is common but incorrect. Related words: la pista (runway), il terminal (terminal), l'imbarco (boarding). Do not confuse aeroporto with aerodromo, which refers to a smaller airfield.

Examples

"L'aeroporto è affollato di turisti."

Natural Translation

The airport is crowded with tourists.
