Italian word
gabinetto
toilet, bathroom; cabinet (government)
Looks like
cabinet
a piece of furniture with drawers; a group of senior government ministers
⚠️ The trap
In everyday Italian, 'gabinetto' primarily means toilet/bathroom — quite an embarrassing mix-up if you use it to mean a kitchen cabinet!
To say "a piece of furniture with drawers; a group of senior government ministers" in Italian:
armadietto (for furniture cabinet); gabinetto for both toilet and gov cabinet
"gabinetto" in English means:
toilet, bathroom; cabinet (government)
Example
"Dov'è il gabinetto, per favore?"
"Where is the toilet, please?"
