A2🍕 Food
Italian word
frutta
fruit (the food category, collective noun)
Looks like
frutta → fruit
fruit is already the correct translation
⚠️ The trap
The trap here is the singular. In Italian, ONE piece of fruit is 'un frutto', but the food category is 'frutta'. Saying 'una frutta' is wrong. English speakers sometimes also confuse 'frutto' with 'fruit' when it appears in other contexts like 'frutto del mare' (seafood = fruit of the sea).
To say "fruit is already the correct translation" in Italian:
frutta (collective) / un frutto (one piece)
"frutta" in English means:
fruit (the food category, collective noun)
Example
"Mangio molta frutta ogni giorno."
"I eat a lot of fruit every day."
