B2🔤 Letters F & G
Italian word
garante
guarantor, surety (person who guarantees)
Looks like
guarantee
a formal assurance or promise
⚠️ The trap
Garante is the PERSON who guarantees, not the guarantee itself. 'Do you have a guarantee?' = 'Hai una garanzia?' — not 'Hai un garante?'
To say "a formal assurance or promise" in Italian:
garanzia (for guarantee/noun); garante for the guarantor person
"garante" in English means:
guarantor, surety (person who guarantees)
Example
"Ho bisogno di un garante per il contratto d'affitto."
"I need a guarantor for the rental contract."
