Italian word
recensione
a review (of a book, film, restaurant, etc.)
Looks like
recession
an economic downturn
⚠️ The trap
'Recensione' looks and sounds like 'recession' but means a review or critique. The Italian for economic recession is 'recessione'. The words come from completely different Latin roots.
To say "an economic downturn" in Italian:
recensione (correct for review)
"recensione" in English means:
a review (of a book, film, restaurant, etc.)
Example
"Hai letto la recensione del nuovo film di Sorrentino?"
"Have you read the review of Sorrentino's new film?"
