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.
