⚠️ The trap

'Giovane' is a neutral or positive word for a young person. 'Juvenile' in English often has a negative connotation (juvenile behaviour = childish). Use 'giovanile' for the Italian adjective form.

To say "relating to young people; childish (negative)" in Italian:

giovanile (adj); giovane for young person or young

"giovane" in English means:

young person; young

Example

"È una giovane molto talentuosa."

"She is a very talented young woman."
