⚠️ The trap

In Italian 'avventura' covers adventure but also very commonly refers to a romantic affair or fling. English 'adventure' never means a romantic liaison. Saying 'ho avuto un'avventura' in Italian implies a romantic/sexual encounter, not just an exciting trip.

N/A (partial overlap)

"avventura" in English means:
