Italian word

guidare

to drive (a vehicle); to guide, to lead

Looks like

to guide

to show or direct the way

⚠️ The trap

Guidare means both 'to drive' and 'to guide'. English 'guide' doesn't mean to drive. So 'guido ogni giorno' = 'I drive every day' — not 'I guide every day'.

To say "to show or direct the way" in Italian:

guidare covers both driving and guiding

"guidare" in English means:

to drive (a vehicle); to guide, to lead

Example

"Sai guidare la macchina?"

"Can you drive a car?"
