B1🅰️ Letter A
Italian word
attuale
current, present
Looks like
actual
real, genuine
⚠️ The trap
An English speaker might say 'l'attuale problema' meaning 'the actual problem' — but in Italian this means 'the current problem'. Say 'il vero problema' for 'the actual problem'.
To say "real, genuine" in Italian:
reale, vero
"attuale" in English means:
current, present
Example
"Il presidente attuale ha vinto le elezioni l'anno scorso."
"The current president won the elections last year."
