Italian word
controllo
check, inspection, monitoring; control
Looks like
control
power to direct or manage; a device/button for operating something
⚠️ The trap
Italian 'controllo' leans toward 'inspection/check' more than 'power over'. 'Avere il controllo di una società' means holding a controlling stake, which is close to English. But 'remote control' is 'telecomando', not 'controllo remoto'.
To say "power to direct or manage; a device/button for operating something" in Italian:
controllo (check/oversight); controllo (control of a company)
"controllo" in English means:
check, inspection, monitoring; control
Example
"Abbiamo effettuato un controllo dei conti."
"We carried out an audit of the accounts."
