Italian word

fantasia

imagination, fantasy, fancy fabric pattern

Looks like

fantasy

the faculty of imagining impossible things; a genre of fiction

⚠️ The trap

Fantasia primarily means imagination or creative fancy — and also refers to patterned designs on fabric. It's used much more in everyday speech than English 'fantasy'.

To say "the faculty of imagining impossible things; a genre of fiction" in Italian:

fantasia covers imagination; genere fantasy for the genre

"fantasia" in English means:

imagination, fantasy, fancy fabric pattern

Example

"Quella bambina ha molta fantasia."

"That little girl has a lot of imagination."
