Root Explanation

Friulano → This word originates from Italian, specifically referring to the people or the dialect from the Friuli region in northeastern Italy. The term is derived from 'Friuli', which is the name of the region, and the suffix '-ano', which indicates belonging or relating to. Therefore, 'friulano' means someone or something that is from or related to Friuli.

Memory Tip

Think of 'Friuli' as the place and '-ano' as indicating belonging — so friulano means someone from Friuli.
