descrivere

Looks like

to describe

to give a detailed account of something

⚠️ The trap

Good match. But 'descrizione' (description) is sometimes confused with 'discrezione' (discretion). Very different words — learners should not mix them up when writing.

To say "to give a detailed account of something" in Italian:

descrivere

"descrivere" in English means:

to describe

Example

"Puoi descrivere cosa hai visto?"

"Can you describe what you saw?"
