affittare

to rent

verb ahf-feet-TAH-reh Rare

Also means

to lease

Usage Note

Affittare works in both directions: a landlord 'affits' a property to a tenant, and a tenant 'affits' (rents) from a landlord. Context disambiguates, though prendere in affitto (to take on rent) more clearly signals the tenant's perspective. The noun is l'affitto; in affitto means 'for rent.'

Examples

"Vogliamo affittare un appartamento in centro."

Natural Translation

We want to rent an apartment in the city centre.
