Italian word

appunto

exactly!, precisely! (exclamation); a note (written)

Looks like

appoint

to designate someone for a role

⚠️ The trap

'Appunto!' as an exclamation means 'Exactly! Precisely!' — used to agree enthusiastically in conversation. It has nothing to do with English 'appoint'. Also 'prendere appunti' = to take notes.

To say "to designate someone for a role" in Italian:

nominare (to appoint someone)

"appunto" in English means:

exactly!, precisely! (exclamation); a note (written)

Example

"Prendo appunti durante le lezioni."

"I take notes during classes."
