broccoli

broccoli (same vegetable, but always plural in Italian)

Looks like

broccoli

the same vegetable, used as an uncountable noun

⚠️ The trap

The word is the same but usage differs. In Italian 'broccoli' is the plural form; the singular is 'broccolo'. In English it is used as an uncountable noun. Also, Italians dress broccoli with garlic and olive oil — not cheese sauce!

To say "the same vegetable, used as an uncountable noun" in Italian:

broccolo (singular) / broccoli (plural)

"broccoli" in English means:

broccoli (same vegetable, but always plural in Italian)

Example

"I broccoli sono cotti al vapore."

"The broccoli is steamed."
