Italian word
fiato
breath, breathing
Looks like
fiat
a formal authorisation or decree; the car brand
⚠️ The trap
Fiato = breath. Fiat (English) = a decree or the Italian car brand. 'Senza fiato' = breathless — nothing to do with authority or automobiles.
To say "a formal authorisation or decree; the car brand" in Italian:
decreto (for fiat/decree); fiato for breath
"fiato" in English means:
breath, breathing
Example
"Ho il fiato corto dopo aver corso."
"I'm short of breath after running."
