Italian word
insulto
insult, offensive remark
Looks like
insult
a rude or offensive remark
⚠️ The trap
Mostly a true cognate, but the medical term 'insult to the body' (trauma) is 'trauma' in Italian, not 'insulto'. Don't say 'insulto al cuore' for a heart attack — say 'infarto'.
To say "a rude or offensive remark" in Italian:
insulto (true cognate — same meaning)
"insulto" in English means:
insult, offensive remark
Example
"Quello che hai detto è stato un insulto."
"What you said was an insult."
