Italian word

corte

court (legal), courtyard, or royal court

Looks like

court

a legal tribunal; a royal/noble residence; a sports area

⚠️ The trap

'Corte' in Italian rarely refers to a sports court — for that, use 'campo'. Also 'fare la corte' means to court/woo someone romantically, not anything legal.

To say "a legal tribunal; a royal/noble residence; a sports area" in Italian:

corte

"corte" in English means:

court (legal), courtyard, or royal court

Example

"La Corte Costituzionale ha dichiarato la legge incostituzionale."

"The Constitutional Court declared the law unconstitutional."
