What is 'nap' when translated from English to Italian?

Answer 1

Pennichella, pisolino, riposino, siesta, and sonnellino are Italian equivalents of the English phrase "afternoon nap." Context makes clear whether the post-morning, pre-evening rest is for children (case 3) or adults (examples 1, 2, 4, 5). The respective pronunciations will be "PEN-nee-KEL-la," "PEE-so-LEE-no," "REE-po-SEE-no," "SYEH-sta," and "SON-nel-LEE-no" in Italian.

Answer 2

Pelo for cloth and sonnellino for sleep are Italian equivalents of the English word "nap." Context makes clear whether the velvet-like side of a cloth piece (case 1) or a "little sleep" (example 2) suits. The respective pronunciations will be "PEY-lo" and "SON-nel-LEE-no" in Italian.
