What is the Italian translation of 'tsunami'?

Answer 1

Tsunami or maremoto are Italian equivalents of the Japanese word "tsunami."

Specifically, the masculine noun tsunami may be preceded by the masculine singular definite article lo ("the") or the indefinite un ("a, one"). The masculine noun maremotoliterally means "sea motion." It may be preceded by the masculine singular definite article il ("the") or the indefinite un.

The pronunciation is "tsoo-NAH-mee" in terms of the Japanese loan word and

"MAH-reh-MOH-toh" in terms of the Italian equivalent.
