A1🔤 Letters B & C
Italian word
bianco
white; blank; also a type of white wine
Looks like
blank
empty, not filled in; a space left empty
⚠️ The trap
Bianco means white, but in Italian it also covers the English meaning of blank. 'Assegno in bianco' = blank cheque; 'votare scheda bianca' = to cast a blank vote. English speakers might not expect white = blank.
To say "empty, not filled in; a space left empty" in Italian:
bianco (white AND blank); spazio bianco (blank space)
"bianco" in English means:
white; blank; also a type of white wine
Example
"Firma qui — lascia lo spazio bianco per la data."
"Sign here — leave the blank space for the date."
