Origin: from Latin possibilitas

Also means

chance

Usage Note

Possibilità is feminine and invariable, so the plural is also le possibilità. The phrase avere la possibilità di means 'to have the chance to', and in the plural it can mean financial 'means': non ho le possibilità. The final accent fixes the stress and blocks any plural ending.

Examples

"Hai la possibilità di scegliere."

Natural Translation

You have the chance to choose.

Literal Translation

You-have the possibility of to-choose.
