The most important words in Italian

In Italian there are 7500 words that are very important because they are used in almost every context. In my dictionary there is the FUNDAMENTAL LEXICON with 2000 words.

The SEARCH works FROM THE BEGINNING OF THE WORD, while the 'category' will search for words based on the most important GRAMMATIC CLASSES.

  • The BASIC LEXICON is divided into:
  • FUNDAMENTAL LEXICON i.e. words that are used in all contexts, and are used in 86% of speech and text
  • HIGH USAGE LEXICON, i.e. words that are used in many contexts and that recur very frequently in the Italian language.
  • HIGH AVAILABILITY LEXICON i.e. words that are used only in certain contexts, but are perceived by speakers as known and of equal importance to the core lexicon
