a map — same meaning!
⚠️ The trap
Not quite a false friend, but learners confuse 'mappa' (geographic map) with 'cartina' — Italians prefer 'cartina' for a small folded road map.
To say "a map — same meaning!" in Italian:
N/A — same concept
"mappa" in English means:
map (geographic)
Example
"Hai una mappa della città?"
"Do you have a map of the city?"
