in English/Spanish, 'burro' means a small donkey or a type of Mexican wrap
⚠️ The trap
In Italian, 'burro' is butter. In Spanish and English borrowing, 'burro' means a small donkey (or a Mexican burrito wrap). Asking a waiter in Italy for 'più burro' (more butter) is fine — you are not asking for a donkey.
To say "in English/Spanish, 'burro' means a small donkey or a type of Mexican wrap" in Italian:
