A1🔤 Letters M & N

Italian word

marito

husband

Looks like

mar- / merit

to deserve; a body of salt water

⚠️ The trap

Sounds like 'merit' but is the noun for husband. 'Mio marito' vs 'mia moglie' (my wife) is a key A1 vocabulary pair.

To say "to deserve; a body of salt water" in Italian:

meritare (for to merit)

"marito" in English means:

husband

Example

"Mio marito lavora in banca."

"My husband works in a bank."
