Words ending in "-tude" in English, such as "attitude," "gratitude," and "solitude," typically undergo a transformation when translated to Italian. In Italian, these words are rendered as "-tudine" to convey a similar meaning. This pattern of substituting "-tude" with "-tudine" is a characteristic feature of the Italian language.This transformation can be attributed to the influence of Latin on both Italian and English. In Latin, words ending in "-tudo" denoted a state or condition, which is reflected in the "-tude" endings in English. Italian, being a Romance language derived from Latin, has preserved and adapted this pattern in its word formation.For example:
