unità

unity

noun oo-nee-TAH Less Common

Origin: from Latin 'unitas'

Also means

unit

Usage Note

Unità ends in a stressed accented vowel, so it is invariable: l'unità stays le unità in the plural. It covers both abstract 'unity' (as in l'Unità d'Italia, the unification of Italy) and a concrete 'unit' (unità di misura, unit of measurement).

Examples

"L'unità del gruppo è importante."

Natural Translation

The group's unity is important.

Literal Translation

The unity of-the group is important.
