⚠️ The trap
'Indugio' looks like 'indulge' but means delay or hesitation. 'Senza indugio' = 'without delay / immediately'. To indulge in Italian say 'concedersi qualcosa': 'mi sono concesso un gelato' = 'I indulged in an ice cream'.
To say "to allow oneself to enjoy something" in Italian:
indugio (delay); concedersi (to indulge)
