In the Store

At the checkout, in the fitting room, or pushing a trolley down the aisle: this quiz covers five essential Italian words for getting around a shop. Match each Italian word to its English meaning, complete sentences with the missing word, and translate full sentences to build your Italian retail vocabulary.

Worth knowing: cassa means cash register and checkout counter in everyday Italian. You will hear andare alla cassa to mean heading to the till. Outside the shops, the same word also refers to a bank vault or cash box.
