Italian word
ministro
a government minister (cabinet member)
Looks like
minister
a government minister; a religious minister/pastor
⚠️ The trap
In Italian, 'ministro' almost exclusively refers to a government minister. A religious minister/pastor is 'pastore' or 'sacerdote'. English speakers in Italy sometimes call priests 'ministro', which sounds strange.
To say "a government minister; a religious minister/pastor" in Italian:
ministro
"ministro" in English means:
a government minister (cabinet member)
Example
"Il Ministro dell'Interno ha convocato una conferenza stampa."
"The Interior Minister called a press conference."
