Italian word
ufficio
office (a room or department); official duty/office
Looks like
office
a room for work; a position of authority
⚠️ The trap
Largely equivalent. Note that 'ufficio' in Italian commonly refers to a department rather than just a room (ufficio HR, ufficio commerciale). 'D'ufficio' means officially/by default (e.g., avvocato d'ufficio = court-appointed lawyer).
To say "a room for work; a position of authority" in Italian:
ufficio (office/department)
"ufficio" in English means:
office (a room or department); official duty/office
Example
"L'ufficio acquisti gestisce tutti i rapporti con i fornitori."
"The purchasing department manages all supplier relations."
