NOTES

(by DuoItalian)

As learned in the Cognates section of this site, treno is the Italian equivalent of the English noun “train”.  The Italian adjective ferroviario (railway/railroad) learned in this lesson is only used in combination with a correlating noun and changes gender accordingly.

• incrocio ferroviario (railway crossing)
• stazione ferroviaria (train station)

Therefore, you would properly say “Mi piace andare in treno” (I like to ride the train) or “La stazione ferroviaria è a Milano” (The train station is in Milan).

TIP: While the Italian strada is most commonly used for ‘street’, traversa is sometimes used to indicate a ‘side street’.
