Italian word
verso
a line of poetry; also 'towards' (preposition)
Looks like
verse
a line or stanza of poetry; a verse of the Bible
⚠️ The trap
'Verso' in Italian means a single line of poetry. 'Verse' in English can mean a single line OR an entire stanza. Also, 'verso' is a common Italian preposition meaning 'towards' ('verso nord' = towards the north) — completely unrelated to poetry.
To say "a line or stanza of poetry; a verse of the Bible" in Italian:
verso (correct for a line of poetry)
"verso" in English means:
a line of poetry; also 'towards' (preposition)
Example
"Il primo verso della Divina Commedia è 'Nel mezzo del cammin di nostra vita'."
"The first line of the Divine Comedy is 'In the middle of the journey of our life'."
