residente

resident

adjective reh-zee-DEHN-teh Less Common
People & Society Community

Origin: from Latin residens, 'remaining'

Also means

residing

Usage Note

Residente ends in -e, so it does not change for gender, only pluralizing to residenti. It works as both adjective ('residing') and noun ('a resident'), as in i residenti del quartiere ('the residents of the neighborhood'). The single s between vowels sounds like 'z'.

Examples

"È residente a Roma da anni."

Natural Translation

He has been resident in Rome for years.

Literal Translation

He-is resident at Rome since years.
