Italian word

lodare

to praise, to commend

Looks like

load

to put a weight on something; to load a gun or file

⚠️ The trap

'Lodare' = to praise. Nothing to do with 'load'. 'Ti lodo per l'impegno' = 'I praise you for your commitment'. 'Lode' (noun) = praise, honour. 'Laurearsi con lode' = 'to graduate with distinction/honours'. 'Caricare' = to load (a truck, a gun, a file).

To say "to put a weight on something; to load a gun or file" in Italian:

lodare (to praise); caricare (to load)

"lodare" in English means:

to praise, to commend

Example

"Il professore ha lodato il suo lavoro."

"The professor praised his work."
