chart

Usage Note

Tabella means a structured grid of data (a table or chart), not a piece of furniture — that is tavolo or tavola. A learner must not confuse the two. It appears in contexts like tabella dei prezzi (price list) and tabella di marcia (schedule, timetable). The plural is regular: le tabelle.

Examples

"Consulta la tabella dei prezzi."

Natural Translation

Consult the price table.
