Italian word

fumo

smoke; steam; vapour

Looks like

fume

smoke or gas emitted by something burning; to be very angry

⚠️ The trap

Fumo = smoke. English 'to fume' (to be very angry) = 'essere furibondo/a' in Italian — not related to 'fumare' (to smoke). 'Stava fumando di rabbia' is understood colloquially but not standard.

To say "smoke or gas emitted by something burning; to be very angry" in Italian:

fumo covers smoke; esalazione for fumes

"fumo" in English means:

smoke; steam; vapour

Example

"C'era troppo fumo nell'aria."

"There was too much smoke in the air."
