How to Say ‘Next time’ in Italian
La prossima volta
lah PROSS-see-mah VOL-tah
[lah PROSS-see-mah VOL-tah]
💬 Usage Tip: Italian often uses the definite article where English doesn't: [la prossima volta] is literally "the next time," but means simply "next time." Same pattern in [la prossima fermata] — "the next stop".
