doppie

Doppie is the feminine plural form of the Italian adjective doppia, and can also function as a noun in certain contexts. The word derives from the Latin duplex, meaning twofold or двойной, and is used in Italian to express the idea of duplicity or pairing.

As an adjective, doppie typically accompanies feminine plural nouns to indicate twofoldity, duplication, or dual nature. Examples include camere doppie (double rooms), porte doppie (double doors), and misure doppie (twofold measures). The form agrees in gender and number with the noun it modifies.

As a noun, doppia can refer to a double or twin configuration in common usage, especially in travel and hospitality. In hotels, guests may encounter terms such as una camera doppia or la doppia, referring to a room designed for two people. The plural form, camere doppie, is standard when discussing multiple such rooms.

In other domains, doppie appears in phrases borrowed from or adapted from technical or musical terminology, where it retains its core meaning of twofold or paired. The exact construction and frequency vary by field and context.

Doppie contrasts with the masculine doppio, which carries the same core meaning but is used with masculine nouns or in masculine forms. The concept is closely related to other Italian terms for duplication and pairing, and it shares roots with cognate words in other Romance languages.
