What does italicized n mean in the dictionary?

It depends on the dictionary and the context! Here's a breakdown of what italicized "n" could mean:

* Part of Speech: Most dictionaries use italicized letters to indicate parts of speech. In this case, italicized "n" likely stands for noun.

* Other Abbreviations: In some cases, a dictionary might use an italicized "n" for other abbreviations, such as:

* "n." for "number" (e.g., "n. 1, 2, 3...")

* "n." for "note" (e.g., "n. See also...")

To know for sure, you need to look at the specific entry in the dictionary.

For example:

If you see "n." at the beginning of a dictionary entry, it's likely telling you the word is a noun.

If you see "n." in parentheses after a word, it might be indicating a note or a number.
