What is the English word 'nurse' in Italian?

Answer 1

Infermiera in the feminine and Infermiere in the masculine are Italian equivalents of the English noun "nurse."

Specifically, the feminine noun infermiera and the masculine infermiere respectively mean "(female) nurse" and "(male) nurse." The singular definite article is l'.* The singular indefinite article is una ("a, one") in the feminine and un, uno in the masculine.

The pronunciation is "EEN-fehr-MYEH-rah" in the feminine and "EEN-fehr-MYEH-reh" in the masculine.

*The articles actually are la in the feminine and il in the masculine. But the vowels a and idrop before nouns that begin with vowels. In both cases, the temporary nature of the drop is indicated by an apostrophe immediately after the remaining letter l and immediately before the first letter in the following noun.
