Usage Note

Venti is the number twenty and, by coincidence, also the plural of vento ('winds') — context and stress (both VEHN-tee) tell them apart. As a numeral it is invariable: venti euro, venti persone. Compounds like ventuno (21) drop the final vowel before uno and otto.

Examples

"Ho venti anni."

Literal Translation

I-have twenty years.
