⚠️ The trap
In Italian business, 'operativo' means operational/working. In English 'operative' can mean a spy/agent or the key word in a clause. These differences matter in contracts and intelligence/security contexts.
To say "in effect (operative clause); a secret agent; a worker" in Italian:
operativo (operational); operaio / operatore (worker/operative)
"operativo" in English means:
operational, in operation; relating to operations
Example
"Il nuovo sistema è pienamente operativo da lunedì."
"The new system has been fully operational since Monday."
