B1🅰️ Letter A
Italian word
ambiguo
ambiguous, unclear, shady (of a person)
Looks like
ambiguous
open to more than one interpretation; unclear
⚠️ The trap
These share the same meaning, but 'ambiguo' in Italian also strongly implies moral shadiness or untrustworthiness in a person — more negative than the neutral English 'ambiguous'. 'Una persona ambigua' is a shady, untrustworthy person.
To say "open to more than one interpretation; unclear" in Italian:
N/A (same meaning)
"ambiguo" in English means:
ambiguous, unclear, shady (of a person)
Example
"Il suo comportamento ambiguo ha insospettito tutti."
"His shady behaviour aroused everyone's suspicions."
