B1🔤 Letters F & G
Italian word
fruttivendolo
greengrocer, fruit and vegetable seller
Looks like
fruit vendor
a person who sells fruit
⚠️ The trap
While 'fruit vendor' sounds like a perfect match, a fruttivendolo sells both fruit AND vegetables — much closer to 'greengrocer'.
To say "a person who sells fruit" in Italian:
fruttivendolo is correct — but broader than just fruit
"fruttivendolo" in English means:
greengrocer, fruit and vegetable seller
Example
"Vado dal fruttivendolo a comprare le verdure."
"I'm going to the greengrocer to buy vegetables."
