Italian word
carità
charity (as in giving to the poor); also Christian love (theological sense)
Looks like
charity
giving to those in need; an organisation that helps people
⚠️ The trap
Carità has a more theological flavour than English charity. The expression 'per carità!' is a common exclamation of disbelief or protest — 'for goodness' sake!' or 'good Lord!' — which has nothing to do with giving to the poor.
To say "giving to those in need; an organisation that helps people" in Italian:
carità (theological charity/love); organizzazione benefica (charity organisation)
"carità" in English means:
charity (as in giving to the poor); also Christian love (theological sense)
Example
"Per carità! Non fare quell'errore."
"For goodness' sake! Don't make that mistake."
