Italian word

educato

polite, well-mannered

Looks like

educated

having received education, knowledgeable

⚠️ The trap

'Educato' means 'polite/well-mannered', NOT 'educated/learned'. For 'educated' use 'istruito' or 'colto'. 'Ben educato' = raised with good manners.

To say "having received education, knowledgeable" in Italian:

istruito/colto (for educated)

"educato" in English means:

polite, well-mannered

Example

"È un ragazzo molto educato."

"He is a very polite boy."
