Italian word

acido

acid; sour, sharp (taste); bitter (person)

Looks like

acid

a corrosive chemical substance; (slang) LSD

⚠️ The trap

The chemical meaning overlaps. But 'acido' is very commonly used for sour-tasting food, which English speakers rarely express as 'acid'. Also, the English slang meaning of 'acid' (LSD) does not carry over into Italian.

To say "a corrosive chemical substance; (slang) LSD" in Italian:

N/A (mostly the same)

"acido" in English means:

acid; sour, sharp (taste); bitter (person)

Example

"Questo vino è un po' acido, non mi piace."

"This wine is a bit sour, I don't like it."
