routine mattutina
The English phrase 'morning routine' is translated into Italian as routine mattutina.
This might include actions such as Vestirsi (to get dressed), Spazzolarsi i denti (to brush your teeth) or Fare ginnastica (to do exercise).
What does it mean word for word?
The phrase is composed of the borrowed English word 'routine' and the adjective mattutina, which means 'morning' or 'of the morning'.
Is there a formal and an informal way to say it?
While routine mattutina is commonly used due to the influence of English, using abitudini mattutine (morning habits) is a more traditional and natural way to express the same concept in Italian.
