Italian word
adottare
to adopt (a child, a law, a measure)
Looks like
adore
to love deeply
⚠️ The trap
The Italian 'adorare' means to adore/love, not 'adottare'. These look slightly different but learners mix them up in speech. 'Adottare' is strictly to adopt; 'adorare' is to adore.
To say "to love deeply" in Italian:
adorare (to adore), amare
"adottare" in English means:
to adopt (a child, a law, a measure)
Example
"Il parlamento ha adottato una nuova legge."
"Parliament adopted a new law."
