Italian word

firma

signature; also: a business firm/company (formal/archaic)

Looks like

firm

a business partnership or company; solid, not soft

⚠️ The trap

The primary meaning of 'firma' in modern Italian is 'signature'. While 'firma' can mean a prestigious fashion house (una firma del lusso), it does not generally mean a business firm. Use 'azienda' or 'società'.

To say "a business partnership or company; solid, not soft" in Italian:

firma (signature); azienda/società (company/firm)

"firma" in English means:

signature; also: a business firm/company (formal/archaic)

Example

"Metti la tua firma in fondo al contratto."

"Put your signature at the bottom of the contract."
