⚠️ The trap

'Mutuo' as a noun specifically means a mortgage or a bank loan. As an adjective it means mutual. English speakers expecting 'mutual fund' will not find it here — that is 'fondo comune di investimento'.

To say "shared between two parties; a mutual fund" in Italian:

mutuo (mortgage loan); mutuale / reciproco (mutual)

"mutuo" in English means:

mortgage (home loan); also: mutual (adjective)

"Ho acceso un mutuo trentennale per comprare casa."

"I took out a thirty-year mortgage to buy a house."
