How does it change in a sentence?
The singular form of the word is prenotazione.
Did you know?
- If you have doubts or hesitations about something, you would not use prenotazioni, but rather the word riserve. While English uses 'reservations' for both bookings and doubts, Italian keeps these concepts strictly separate.
- In Italian, the verb prenotare comes from pre meaning 'before' and notare meaning 'to mark'. It literally describes the act of marking something down before it is officially taken.
- In Italy, trying to make prenotazioni for very popular local trattorias via the internet can sometimes be unsuccessful, as many traditional owners still prefer a phone call or a face-to-face agreement.
