article
same — but usage range differs slightly
⚠️ The trap
The word is the same in both languages but 'articolo' in Italian also means 'article' as in a retail item ('articolo in vendita' = item for sale). English rarely uses 'article' in the commercial sense now, preferring 'item' or 'product'.
To say "same — but usage range differs slightly" in Italian:
articolo (correct in all senses)
"articolo" in English means:
article (in a newspaper); article (grammar); article (item in a contract)
Example
"Ho scritto un articolo per il giornale locale."
"I wrote an article for the local newspaper."
