Italian word

intero

whole, entire, complete

Looks like

interior

the inside of something

⚠️ The trap

'Intero' = whole/entire. 'Interno' = interior/inside. Don't confuse them. 'Il ministero degli interni' = 'the Ministry of the Interior (Home Office)'. 'Intero' and 'interior' sound similar but are quite different.

To say "the inside of something" in Italian:

intero (whole); interno (interior/inside)

"intero" in English means:

whole, entire, complete

Example

"Ho mangiato l'intera torta."

"I ate the entire cake."
