traffic

noun TRAHF-fee-koh Less Common
Travel & Places Transportation

Also means

trafficking

Usage Note

Traffico means road traffic (c'è traffico, 'there's traffic') but also illegal trade, as in traffico di droga ('drug trafficking'). Largely uncountable in the road sense, so it rarely takes the plural traffici.

Examples

"C'è molto traffico stamattina."

Natural Translation

There's a lot of traffic this morning.

Literal Translation

There-is much traffic this-morning.
