capacità

ability

noun kah-pah-chee-TAH Less Common

Origin: from Latin 'capacitas'

Also means

capacity

Usage Note

Capacità is invariable because of its final stressed vowel, so una capacità and molte capacità look identical. It covers both a personal skill and a container's volume. Beware: 'capable' is capace, not this noun.

Examples

"Ha una grande capacità di lavoro."

Natural Translation

She has a great capacity for work.

Literal Translation

She-has a great capacity of work.
