Italian word

rosmarino

rosemary (the herb)

Looks like

rosemary

Rosemary is also a woman's name in English; the herb is the correct translation

⚠️ The trap

The words are similar enough: 'rosmarino' = rosemary. The main trap is that in English 'Rosemary' is also a common woman's name. In Italian, the name is also 'Rosmarino' (or more commonly 'Rosaria'). The herb name and the human name connection is shared in both languages.

To say "Rosemary is also a woman's name in English; the herb is the correct translation" in Italian:

rosmarino (rosemary herb)

"rosmarino" in English means:

rosemary (the herb)

Example

"Il pollo al rosmarino è un classico italiano."

"Chicken with rosemary is an Italian classic."
