Also means
to scream
Usage Note
Urlare conveys a louder, more intense cry than gridare — it suggests screaming or howling rather than simply calling out. It takes avere as its auxiliary. The related noun urlo (pl. urla, feminine in the plural — an irregular shift) means 'scream' or 'howl'. Le urla for a single masculine noun l'urlo is a common sticking point.
Examples
"Ha urlato di paura."
