Meaning: cardinal number (num)

How do you pronounce it?

The word is pronounced /ˈtren.ta/. It has two syllables, with the stress on the first syllable.

In Italian gambling and lottery culture, numbers are often assigned symbolic meanings, and trenta is sometimes associated with 'the chair' or 'the seat' in traditional dream-interpretation charts.
The word trenta is a distant relative of the English word 'three', as both share the same ancient Proto-Indo-European root for the number three.
Because trenta ends in 'a', it follows the pattern of many Italian cardinal numbers, but unlike adjectives, it does not change its ending to agree with the gender of the noun it modifies.
