Italian word

applicazione

application (job, effort, app); dedication

Looks like

application

a formal request; a computer program; applying something

⚠️ The trap

These largely overlap, but 'applicazione' in Italian also strongly means diligence or dedicated effort ('studiare con applicazione'). English 'application' rarely means personal diligence in this way. This sense is a useful false friend to recognise.

To say "a formal request; a computer program; applying something" in Italian:

N/A (same meaning)

"applicazione" in English means:

application (job, effort, app); dedication

Example

"Ha studiato con molta applicazione per l'esame."

"He studied with great dedication for the exam."
