Italian word
libreria
bookshop / bookstore
Looks like
library
a room or building containing books for borrowing or reading
⚠️ The trap
This is one of the most classic Italian-English false friends. 'Libreria' is a bookshop where you BUY books. 'Biblioteca' is a library where you BORROW them.
To say "a room or building containing books for borrowing or reading" in Italian:
biblioteca
"libreria" in English means:
bookshop / bookstore
Example
"Ho comprato questo libro in una libreria vicino all'università."
"I bought this book in a bookshop near the university."
