Italian word

società

company, corporation; society (social group)

Looks like

society

the community of people living together; a social organisation

⚠️ The trap

'Società' means both 'society' and 'company'. In business Italian 'società' is the standard legal term for a company (S.r.l., S.p.A., etc.). English speakers might miss this and use only 'compagnia' or 'azienda'.

To say "the community of people living together; a social organisation" in Italian:

società (company/corporation); società (society)

"società" in English means:

company, corporation; society (social group)

Example

"Ho costituito una nuova società a responsabilità limitata."

"I set up a new limited liability company."
