A2🔤 Letters D & E
Italian word
diretto
direct (route, speech); a direct (non-stop) train
Looks like
direct
straight, without stops; frank and honest
⚠️ The trap
Good match. However, 'in diretta' means 'live' (on TV/radio) — 'trasmissione in diretta' = live broadcast. English 'direct' does not mean 'live'.
To say "straight, without stops; frank and honest" in Italian:
diretto
"diretto" in English means:
direct (route, speech); a direct (non-stop) train
Example
"Prendo il treno diretto per Roma."
"I'll take the direct train to Rome."
