Word: domanda

Meaning in English:
The Italian word "domanda" primarily means "question" or "request".

Explanation:

  • As a noun, "domanda" is used to refer to a question asked by someone seeking information or clarification.
  • It can also mean a formal request or application, for example, when applying for a job, a permit, or a service.

Parts:

  • "domanda" comes from the verb "domandare," which means "to ask" or "to request."

Examples:

  • Question: Ho una domanda da farti. (I have a question for you.)
  • Request: Ho inviato una domanda per il visto. (I sent an application/request for the visa.)

Synonyms:

  • For "question": interrogazione, quesito, richiesta (in the sense of an inquiry).
  • For "request": istanza, applicazione, richiesta.

Antonyms:

  • For "question": risposta (answer).
  • For "request": could be considered rifiuto (refusal) or simply "lack of request," but no direct antonym noun applies strongly.

In summary, "domanda" refers to either a question posed to someone or a formal request made to obtain something.
