Italian word
accidente
damn! (exclamation); a trifle, nothing (in fixed phrases)
Looks like
accident
an unintentional event, a mishap
⚠️ The trap
Do not say 'ho avuto un accidente' for 'I had an accident' — in Italian this sounds like an expletive phrase. The correct word for an accident is 'incidente'.
To say "an unintentional event, a mishap" in Italian:
incidente, disgrazia
"accidente" in English means:
damn! (exclamation); a trifle, nothing (in fixed phrases)
Example
"Non capisce un accidente di quello che dico!"
"He doesn't understand a damn thing I say!"
