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."
