The word for twins in Italian is gemelli (masculine, singular: gemello; feminine, singular: gemella).

/ge·mèl·li/

Whereas in English, we have separate terms for offspring in a multiple birth (twins, triplets, quadruplets, quintuplets, sextuplets, septuplets, octuplets, nonuplets and decuplets), Italian applies the blanket term gemelli regardless of the number. In order to be specific, you must add the number before the word gemelli (e.g. tre gemelli = triplets). Note that if all the offspring are male or a mix of males and females, you must use the masculine form gemelli, whereas the feminine form gemelle is reserved for two or more girls.

Mario e Maria sono gemelli ma non si assomigliano.

Mario and Maria are twins but they don’t look alike.

Below are some useful terms associated with the word gemelli in Italian:

gemelli monozigoti / omozigoti = monozygotic twins (identical twins)

/ = monozygotic twins (identical twins) gemelli dizigoti / eterozigoti = dizygotic twins (non-identical or fraternal twins) / = dizygotic twins (non-identical or fraternal twins) gemelli siamesi = siamese twins Le due gemelle giocano nel parco. = The twin girls play in the park. Two closely related verbs are gemellare (to twin) and the reflexive gemellarsi (to twin oneself). They are often used specifically in the context of town twinning.

Roviano è gemellato con il paese spagnolo-catalano di Altafulla.

Roviano is twinned with the Spanish-Catalan town of Altafulla.

Gemelli is also the Italian name for the northern constellation and astrological star sign Gemini which is represented by the twin half-brothers Castor and Pollox, otherwise known as Polydeuces or Dioscuri. Both gemelli and gemini come from the Latin word geminus (twin). Finally gemello can also be used for anything that matches or is identical to something else. A good example is the word for soulmate or kindred spirit in Italian, anima gemella, which literally translates as twin spirit.

Sono alla ricerca della mia anima gemella.

I’m looking for my soulmate.

Sei la mia anima gemella! = You are my soulmate!

Twin beds are called letti gemelli and gemelli on its own is also the word for cufflinks which always come in pairs.

Non scordarti i gemelli! = Don’t forget the cufflinks!

mindbodygreen.com - 22 Subtle Signs A Guy Likes You, From Dating Experts

Here's the thing about trying to know if a guy likes you: Sometimes looking for small signs is never going to give you an accurate full picture of what's going on. Some guys will do all of the above with their friends, while other guys will like someone but not do any of the above. "Some folks may be less able to express their attractions as overtly as this," Battle says. "For instance, my shy clients sometimes struggle with externalizing their feelings for a crush even in subtle ways. That means that even though they like someone, it might be harder for the other person to tell. When in doubt, talk about it!" If you're not sure if a guy likes you but is hiding it, just ask him and let him tell you directly how he feels. It sounds scary, but it definitely doesn't have to be! A simple "Hey, I think you're really cool, and I'm kind of into you—are you into me?" is casual, direct, a little sexy, and also nonthreatening. If it's a no, at least you know! And if it's a yes, now the fun stuff begins.
