⚠️ The trap
Bolletta sounds like 'bullet' but means a utility bill. If you say 'ho una bolletta' in Italian you mean you have a bill to pay, not that you have a bullet. The Italian for bullet is 'proiettile'.
To say "a small projectile fired from a gun; a short note" in Italian:
proiettile (bullet); bolletta (utility bill)
"bolletta" in English means:
a utility bill (electricity, gas, water)
Example
"Ho pagato la bolletta della luce stamattina."
"I paid the electricity bill this morning."
