If by «How do I write chilometro in Italian?» you mean how do you abbreviate it, remember that the symbols for physical quantities (as for chemical elements etc.) are international standards. So: km (see also the “chilometro” entry). Analogously for km/h.

Anyway, any English-Italian or Italian monolingual dictionary could answer such a question.

  • I'd also add: don't write km/ora. You can write either chilometri orari or km/h.
