Italian word

attore

actor (male)

Looks like

author

a person who writes books or articles

⚠️ The trap

'Attore' looks like 'author' to learners, but means 'actor'. The Italian for 'author' is 'autore'. Don't confuse them — a very common error at A1/A2 level.

To say "a person who writes books or articles" in Italian:

autore (for author/writer)

"attore" in English means:

actor (male)

Example

"Quell'attore ha vinto tre premi Oscar."

"That actor has won three Academy Awards."
