Usage Note

Liquidità is primarily a financial term meaning the availability of liquid assets or cash — a company's ability to meet short-term obligations. Like all nouns ending in accented -tà, it is invariable: the form does not change in the plural. It is more technical than contanti (cash on hand) and belongs to accounting and economics registers. The related adjective is liquido (liquid, also meaning cash: pagare in liquido = to pay cash).

Examples

"L'azienda ha problemi di liquidità."

Natural Translation

The company has liquidity problems.
