Italian word

elementare

elementary, basic; primary (school)

Looks like

elementary

relating to the most basic level; straightforward

⚠️ The trap

Good match. But in Italian 'scuola elementare' = primary school (ages 6-11), and 'è elementare!' = 'it's obvious/simple!' — closer to 'elementary, my dear Watson' than to 'primary school' in context.

To say "relating to the most basic level; straightforward" in Italian:

elementare

"elementare" in English means:

elementary, basic; primary (school)

Example

"Vado ancora alle elementari."

"I still go to primary school."
