B2🔤 Letters D & E
Italian word
designare
to designate, appoint, nominate
Looks like
to design
to plan and create something visually or structurally
⚠️ The trap
'Designare' means to appoint/nominate, NOT to design. For design use 'progettare' (to design a building) or 'disegnare' (to draw/design graphically).
To say "to plan and create something visually or structurally" in Italian:
progettare/disegnare (for to design)
"designare" in English means:
to designate, appoint, nominate
Example
"È stato designato come responsabile."
"He was designated as the person in charge."
