Italian word

esercizio

financial year; exercise (physical/mental); practice

Looks like

exercise

physical activity; a task for practice; to use a right

⚠️ The trap

In Italian accounting, 'esercizio' (or 'esercizio fiscale') means the financial/fiscal year — a very common false friend in business writing. It does not mean exercise in the fitness sense primarily.

To say "physical activity; a task for practice; to use a right" in Italian:

esercizio (financial year / exercise)

"esercizio" in English means:

financial year; exercise (physical/mental); practice

Example

"I risultati dell'esercizio 2024 sono stati pubblicati ieri."

"The results for the 2024 financial year were published yesterday."
