Italian word

agonia

death throes, the final moments before death

Looks like

agony

extreme pain or suffering

⚠️ The trap

Saying 'sono in agonia' in Italian implies you are literally dying, not just in great pain. For strong pain, say 'sono in preda al dolore' or 'soffro moltissimo'.

To say "extreme pain or suffering" in Italian:

dolore atroce, tormento

"agonia" in English means:

death throes, the final moments before death

Example

"Il paziente era in agonia per ore prima di morire."

"The patient was in his death throes for hours before dying."
