B1💼 Business
Italian word
opportunità
opportunity, chance
Looks like
opportunity
a favourable time or set of circumstances
⚠️ The trap
Mostly equivalent. However, 'opportunità' also carries the sense of appropriateness/timeliness (from 'opportuno' = appropriate). In business Italian 'valutare l'opportunità di' means to assess whether something is appropriate/advisable, not just to find an opportunity.
To say "a favourable time or set of circumstances" in Italian:
opportunità (opportunity)
"opportunità" in English means:
opportunity, chance
Example
"Questa crisi può diventare un'opportunità di crescita."
"This crisis can become a growth opportunity."
