We know money can’t buy happiness, but at least it can buy a trip to Italy, so this week we teach you how to say money in Italian – soldi.

By the way, the idiomatic phrase above, "money can’t buy happiness", is translated in Italian as i soldi non fanno la felicità.

Also note that while the word money in English is singular, soldi is masculine plural.

A slang word for money is la grana, similar to the English expression dough.
