Italian word

allenare

to train, to coach, to practise (sport)

Looks like

alien

a being from another world; foreign, strange

⚠️ The trap

Visually similar to 'alien' but completely unrelated. 'Allenare/allenamento' comes from 'lena' (breath, effort). 'Alieno' is the Italian for alien. Don't let the similar letters mislead you.

To say "a being from another world; foreign, strange" in Italian:

alieno, straniero (for alien)

"allenare" in English means:

to train, to coach, to practise (sport)

Example

"Mi alleno in palestra tre volte a settimana."

"I train at the gym three times a week."
