Panini People here call Italian pressed sandwiches Panini, I wonder if panini is a plural form in Italian? Thanks.

Ciao, Sharon. Yes, "panini" is the plural of "panino". Since panino ends with an "o", following the general rule, the plural will end in "i". A presto, Gloria

Hi, no need for surprise: maybe if you normally read "Pizza" (singular) you would expect that, if a shop makes sandwiches, they should write "Panino" (singular), but there's no really rules for that as it really depends from the article: -- sometimes it's better to use an uncountable/collective form which is the most used ("cartoleria", "gioielleria", "ferramenta" etc); -- or a plural form ("articoli per la casa", "gioielli"); -- or a singular one which however is a bit rare ("pizza", "vendo-oro", "pesce fresco"). Obviously the plural form is rather natural when it deals on a shop. bye
