vano

room

noun VAH-noh Rare

Also means

hollow space

Usage Note

Vano in property contexts means a distinct room or compartment — Italian real-estate listings count vani rather than bedrooms (un appartamento di quattro vani). As an adjective it also means 'vain' or 'futile' (un vano tentativo), a completely different sense; the shared form can mislead learners.

Examples

"L'appartamento ha quattro vani."

Natural Translation

The apartment has four rooms.
