Italian word

nuvola

cloud

Looks like

novel / nebula

a work of fiction; a distant gas cloud in space

⚠️ The trap

Learners sometimes associate 'nuvola' with 'nebula' (astronomical cloud). In Italian, an astronomical nebula is 'nebulosa'. 'Nuvola' is strictly a weather cloud.

To say "a work of fiction; a distant gas cloud in space" in Italian:

romanzo (for novel); nebulosa (for nebula)

"nuvola" in English means:

cloud

Example

"Il cielo è pieno di nuvole grigie."

"The sky is full of grey clouds."
