lettera c
The English phrase "letter c" is translated into Italian as lettera c.
This phrase is used to refer specifically to the third letter of the English alphabet.
Did you know?
- The Italian alphabet historically did not include 'j', 'k', 'w', 'x' and 'y', meaning the lettera c has always been a core part of the native script.
- The word lettera can refer to both a single character of the alphabet and a written message sent by mail.
- If you were to spell out a word starting with c followed by 'e', you would be making a 'ch' sound, but if you follow it with 'h', such as in che, the sound reverts to a hard 'k' sound.
Examples in context
- La lettera C è molto comune.The letter C is very common.
- Scrivi la lettera C sul foglio.Write the letter C on the paper.
- La parola inizia con la lettera C.The word starts with the letter C.
