Italian word

fortuna

luck, fortune, chance

Looks like

fortune

a large amount of money; fate or luck

⚠️ The trap

In Italian, 'fortuna' usually means luck/chance, not a large sum of money. To say someone has a fortune (wealth), say 'ha fatto fortuna' or 'è ricchissimo'.

To say "a large amount of money; fate or luck" in Italian:

fortuna, patrimonio (for a large sum of money)

"fortuna" in English means:

luck, fortune, chance

Example

"Che fortuna! Ho trovato un parcheggio."

"What luck! I found a parking spot."
