Italian word
spot
(borrowed from English) a TV or radio advertisement
Looks like
spot
a place; a stain; to notice something
⚠️ The trap
In Italian 'spot' almost exclusively means a TV/radio commercial ('spot pubblicitario'). English 'spot' has many meanings (a place, a stain, to notice). Italians have narrowed the borrowed English word to just the advertising sense.
To say "a place; a stain; to notice something" in Italian:
spot pubblicitario (for advert); spot (informal)
"spot" in English means:
(borrowed from English) a TV or radio advertisement
Example
"Hanno girato uno spot per una marca di profumi famosa."
"They filmed an advert for a famous perfume brand."
