Italian word
offerta
offer, bid, proposal; also: supply (economics: offerta e domanda = supply and demand)
Looks like
offer
a proposal to do or give something; a reduced price
⚠️ The trap
In economics, 'offerta' means supply (not just an offer). Confusing 'offerta' and 'domanda' (demand) with their literal English meanings leads to reversed economic statements.
To say "a proposal to do or give something; a reduced price" in Italian:
offerta (offer/supply); proposta (proposal)
"offerta" in English means:
offer, bid, proposal; also: supply (economics: offerta e domanda = supply and demand)
Example
"La legge della domanda e dell'offerta regola i prezzi."
"The law of supply and demand regulates prices."
