In Italian, there is a pattern observed when translating English words that end with the letters "-ium." In many cases, when such words are rendered into Italian, the ending changes to "-io" to align with the phonetics and word formation rules of the Italian language.For instance, the English word "medium" becomes "medio" in Italian, "odium" becomes "odio," and "curriculum" becomes "curricolo." By substituting "-ium" with "-io," the translated words maintain the desired pronunciation and conform to the conventions of Italian vocabulary.
