B1🔤 Letters I & L
Italian word
impresa
enterprise, company, business; an undertaking or feat
Looks like
impress
to make a strong positive effect on someone
⚠️ The trap
'Impresa' = a business enterprise or a remarkable feat, not the verb 'to impress'. 'La sua impresa ci ha impressionato' = 'His feat impressed us' — note both words in the same sentence with different meanings.
To say "to make a strong positive effect on someone" in Italian:
impressionare (to impress); impresa (company/feat)
"impresa" in English means:
enterprise, company, business; an undertaking or feat
Example
"È stata un'impresa difficile."
"It was a difficult undertaking/feat."
