Italian word

articolo

article (in a newspaper); article (grammar); article (item in a contract)

Looks like

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."
