Yes, why doesn't grotto work? I googled an English translation of grotta and cave was first, but next in order were grotto and cavern.

giorno means day, not morning; it's like in Italy they say "good day" instead of "good morning" so I don't think morning should be accepted

I'd accept "kid" for bambino

Well, I learned something. I've only used 'ragazza/o' when referring to teenage girls/boys specifically. I guess I never had an Italian situation before when I needed to refer to a younger girl.

Hi, I'm Italian, "Canto" doesn't mean "Song", that's "Canzone". "Canto" is "Sing" (first person singular), or "Chant", like other people argued in their posts. Thanx

You might be Italian, but you're also ignorant. "Canto" can also be a synonim of "canzone", as in, for instance, "Il canto degli italiani" (Italian national anthem).

But I understand that such a usage can be misleading, and I agree that all other options should be accepted too.

"Il canto degli italiani" is a chant not a song, there is an important difference. A song can be the one you listen to on the radio for example while a chant is something higher.

While I was taking this quiz, I realized how close a lot of them were to Spanish words. I got a pretty good amount of the words correct just by using my knowledge of Spanish words. For example, oro literally means gold in Spanish too. Benvenuto sounds pretty dang close to bienvenido, and, again, both mean the same thing. "Yo canto" means "I sing" in Spanish. Cavallo sounds like caballo, which means horse in Spanish. Venti sounds close to veinte, which means twenty in Spanish. Padre means father in Spanish. Vino means wine in Spanish. Bianco is kind of close to blanco, which means white in Spanish. Ciao is a little close to chao, meaning bye in Spanish. This one is a bit of a stretch, but mille is close to mil, simply cut off the last two letters. Mil means thousand. I couldn't really find any other words that are similar to those of the Spanish language. Anyone else find this easy because of Spanish?

Both Spanish and Italian are Romance languages, meaning that they both derive from Latin. It's really easy to guess the meaning of words in other Romance languages (e.g. Italian French, Portuguese, and Romanian) because of the knowledge of just one (Spanish in our cases).

I'm British and I went to Italy with my Peruvian wife, and in the museums with audio description things often the choice was Italian or English, and she always preferred Italian, despite never having learned any Italian before. It's like a free bonus language if you speak Spanish!

Couldn't figure out why "cousin" wasn't accepted for primo, until I realized it may not be the same word in Italian :)
