Italian word

eccedere

to exceed, to go beyond a limit; to overindulge

Looks like

to exceed

to be greater than; to go beyond a limit

⚠️ The trap

Good match for limits. But in Italian 'eccedere' very naturally means 'to overindulge' (eating too much, drinking too much). In English you'd say 'overindulge' or 'have too much', not 'exceed in food'.

To say "to be greater than; to go beyond a limit" in Italian:

eccedere

"eccedere" in English means:

to exceed, to go beyond a limit; to overindulge

Example

"Non eccedere con l'alcol."

"Don't overindulge in alcohol."
