fragola

strawberry

noun FRAH-goh-lah Rare

Origin: From Latin fragum (strawberry).

Usage Note

Fragola is the standard word for strawberry; the plural is fragole. It also lends its name to the strawberry flavour: gelato alla fragola (strawberry ice cream). Do not confuse with fragile (fragile) — a common false-friend trap for English speakers.

Examples

"Vorrei una crostata di fragole, per favore."

Natural Translation

I would like a strawberry tart, please.
