Italian word

filiale

branch (of a company or bank)

Looks like

filial

relating to a son or daughter

⚠️ The trap

English 'filial' means relating to children ('filial duty'). Italian 'filiale' primarily means a company branch. 'La filiale di Milano' = the Milan branch — nothing to do with children.

To say "relating to a son or daughter" in Italian:

filiale for branch; filiale (adj) also exists for son/daughter relation

"filiale" in English means:

branch (of a company or bank)

Example

"La banca ha una filiale in ogni città."

"The bank has a branch in every city."
