A1🔤 Letters F & G
Italian word
foresta
forest
Looks like
forest
a large area covered chiefly with trees
⚠️ The trap
Mostly a true cognate, but Italians use 'bosco' for smaller wooded areas (like a grove or woods), and reserve 'foresta' for large, dense forests. Don't call a small park a 'foresta'.
To say "a large area covered chiefly with trees" in Italian:
foresta is correct, but also bosco for smaller woods
"foresta" in English means:
forest
Example
"La foresta amazzonica è la più grande del mondo."
"The Amazon forest is the largest in the world."
