Italian word

testimone

a witness

Looks like

testimony

a formal statement given in court; evidence

⚠️ The trap

'Testimone' is the PERSON who witnesses; 'testimonianza' is the testimony (statement). Confusing the two leads to errors like saying 'il testimone ha detto' when meaning 'the testimony stated'.

To say "a formal statement given in court; evidence" in Italian:

testimone

"testimone" in English means:

a witness

Example

"Il testimone ha confermato l'alibi dell'imputato."

"The witness confirmed the defendant's alibi."
