Italian drops subject pronouns most of the time and lets the verb ending carry them, so the verbs near the top of this list are doing double duty. Articles combine with prepositions too — del, nel, alla — and those combined forms are counted separately.

The most common words in Italian, most frequent first, with IPA pronunciations and English meanings.

CSV opens straight into Excel, Numbers or Google Sheets, and imports into Anki. For a printable copy, choose a size above and use your browser's print command — the page prints as a clean list, and every script comes out right.

Frequencies come from the OpenSubtitles corpus via hermitdave/FrequencyWords; English meanings and IPA pronunciations from Wiktextract, with eSpeak NG filling in pronunciations Wiktionary lacks. The data is CC BY-SA 4.0, and so is this list — keep the credit if you pass it on. Example sentences come from Tatoeba, CC BY 2.0 FR. The raw data file is here too.

The speaker plays the voice the LangX app uses for that language — synthesised, not a native speaker, so treat it as a guide.

Words stick once you use them

A list gets you the first few hundred. Saying them to someone who speaks Italian is what makes them stay.
