Italian word

governo

government

Looks like

govern

to rule or control a country

⚠️ The trap

Governo is the noun (government), not the verb. 'To govern' = 'governare'. Don't confuse the noun and verb forms: 'Il governo governa' = 'The government governs'.

To say "to rule or control a country" in Italian:

governare (for to govern); governo for the government

"governo" in English means:

government

Example

"Il governo ha approvato una nuova legge."

"The government approved a new law."
