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."
