roast
roast is the translation — but English and Italian roasting traditions differ
⚠️ The trap
No word confusion, but cultural difference: an Italian 'arrosto' is typically veal, pork loin, or chicken cooked in a pan on the stove or in the oven. The British 'Sunday roast' concept (with gravy, roast potatoes, Yorkshire pudding) does not exist in Italian culture.
To say "roast is the translation — but English and Italian roasting traditions differ" in Italian:
arrosto (roast) / arrosto di vitello (veal roast)
"arrosto" in English means:
roasted (adjective) / un arrosto = a roast
Example
"La domenica si mangia sempre l'arrosto."
"On Sundays we always eat the roast."
