Italian word

ambizioso

ambitious

Looks like

ambitious

having a strong desire and determination to succeed

⚠️ The trap

These are identical in meaning. The Italian 'ambizioso' can carry a slightly more negative undertone in certain contexts (overly ambitious, grasping) compared to the often-neutral or positive English use. Context matters.

To say "having a strong desire and determination to succeed" in Italian:

N/A (same meaning)

"ambizioso" in English means:

ambitious

Example

"È una studentessa ambiziosa: vuole diventare ingegnere."

"She is an ambitious student: she wants to become an engineer."
