Italian word
scontro
clash, collision, conflict; also: a heavy discount (informal for sconto)
Looks like
discount (sconto)
a reduction in price
⚠️ The trap
'Scontro' means clash or collision, not discount. 'Sconto' is the word for discount. Mixing them up in a negotiation is embarrassing at best.
To say "a reduction in price" in Italian:
scontro (clash/conflict); sconto (discount)
"scontro" in English means:
clash, collision, conflict; also: a heavy discount (informal for sconto)
Example
"C'è stato uno scontro acceso in riunione."
"There was a heated clash in the meeting."
