⚠️ The trap

'Mutuo' is primarily the word Italians use for a home mortgage loan. English 'mutual' translates to 'reciproco' or 'comune' in Italian.

To say "shared by two parties; a mutual fund" in Italian:

mutuale / reciproco (for mutual/shared)

"mutuo" in English means:

mortgage (bank loan for property)

Example

"Ho preso un mutuo per comprare casa."

"I took out a mortgage to buy a house."
