Italian word

formaggio

cheese

Looks like

fromage (French) / form

form means a shape or document

⚠️ The trap

'Formaggio' sounds like 'fromage' (French for cheese) and distantly like 'form'. English speakers sometimes confuse it with 'fromage frais' (a French fresh cheese product). In Italian, 'formaggio fresco' is simply fresh cheese.

To say "form means a shape or document" in Italian:

formaggio (cheese)

"formaggio" in English means:

cheese

Example

"Il formaggio parmigiano è invecchiato per anni."

"Parmigiano cheese is aged for years."
