Ways to get it wrong
Camerino vs. Camera
Don't say 'camera', which means 'room' or 'bedroom', not a fitting room.
Stress on 'dov'è'
Make sure to stress the 'è' in 'dov'è' (where is); it's a common mistake to say 'dov-eh'.
A small cultural note
Sales assistants are usually very helpful and will guide you to the fitting rooms. Don't hesitate to ask!
