butter

Looks like

burro

a donkey (from Spanish, used in English for a small donkey)

⚠️ The trap

In English 'burro' (borrowed from Spanish) is a donkey. In Italian 'burro' is butter. Ordering 'burro' in an Italian restaurant will get you butter, not a donkey.

To say "a donkey (from Spanish, used in English for a small donkey)" in Italian:

asino, ciuco (donkey)

"burro" in English means:

butter

Example

"Ho usato troppo burro nella torta."

"I used too much butter in the cake."
