B1🔤 Letters I & L
Italian word
innocuo
harmless, innocuous
Looks like
innocent
not guilty; pure and naive
⚠️ The trap
'Innocuo' = harmless/innocuous (not dangerous). 'Innocente' = innocent (not guilty). Don't confuse them: 'è innocuo' ≠ 'è innocente'. An innocent person is 'innocente', not 'innocuo'.
To say "not guilty; pure and naive" in Italian:
innocente (for innocent); innocuo (for harmless)
"innocuo" in English means:
harmless, innocuous
Example
"Questo farmaco è del tutto innocuo."
"This medicine is completely harmless."
