⚠️ The trap

Fato means destiny, not physical weight. Calling someone 'fato' doesn't mean they're overweight — it means they were destined for something. For 'fat' use 'grasso'.

To say "having too much body weight" in Italian:

grasso (for fat/overweight)

"fato" in English means:

fate, destiny

Example

"Era il suo fato incontrare quella persona."

"It was his fate to meet that person."
