Italian word

amico

friend

Looks like

amicable

done in a friendly spirit; without hostility

⚠️ The trap

The English 'amicable' shares a root but is an adjective ('an amicable settlement'). The Italian equivalent adjective is 'amichevole'. Don't use 'amico' as an adjective meaning friendly — it is a noun meaning friend.

To say "done in a friendly spirit; without hostility" in Italian:

amichevole

"amico" in English means:

friend

Example

"Marco è il mio migliore amico da anni."

"Marco has been my best friend for years."
