il razzo

🚀 Today’s Parola del Giorno

The Chinese rocket hurtling uncontrolled through the atmosphere back to Earth has finally crash landed into the Indian Ocean.

The Italian word for rocket (engine) is il razzo.

Don’t confuse this with the word la razza, which can mean race as in the human race (la razza umana) or breed (when referring to animals, like dogs, cats, horses, etc.).

Some authorities in the south of Italy were urging residents to stay indoors Saturday night in case there were any dangers of falling debris.
