lavoro

work

noun lah-VOH-roh Common

job

Usage Note

Lavoro is both the activity of working and a specific job or position. It is also the first-person singular present of lavorare ('I work'), so context matters. The expression cercare lavoro means 'to look for a job', and lavoro part-time is widely used as a borrowing.

Examples

"Ho trovato un nuovo lavoro."

Natural Translation

I found a new job.
