Italian word
cartone
cardboard; a cartoon (animated film)
Looks like
carton
a light cardboard box, often for liquids (milk carton)
⚠️ The trap
Cartone means both cardboard and an animated cartoon (cartone animato). A milk carton is 'un cartone del latte'. A newspaper cartoon/comic strip is 'una vignetta', not 'un cartone'.
To say "a light cardboard box, often for liquids (milk carton)" in Italian:
cartone (cardboard/cartoon); brick/carton of milk → cartone del latte
"cartone" in English means:
cardboard; a cartoon (animated film)
Example
"I bambini guardano i cartoni animati la mattina."
"The children watch cartoons in the morning."
