Italian word

argomento

topic, subject, theme

Looks like

argument

a disagreement or quarrel

⚠️ The trap

An English speaker might say 'ho avuto un argomento con lui' meaning 'I had an argument with him' — but in Italian this means 'I had a topic with him', which makes no sense. Say 'ho litigato con lui'.

To say "a disagreement or quarrel" in Italian:

litigio, discussione

"argomento" in English means:

topic, subject, theme

Example

"L'argomento della conferenza è il cambiamento climatico."

"The topic of the conference is climate change."
