Italian word

allergia

allergy

Looks like

allergy

same

⚠️ The trap

Not a false friend in meaning, but the trap is the gender: 'allergia' is feminine. Learners often say wrong article. More importantly: Italian doctors say 'allergia a' (with preposition 'a') while English says 'allergy to'.

To say "same" in Italian:

allergia (correct)

"allergia" in English means:

allergy

Example

"Ho un'allergia agli acari della polvere."

"I have an allergy to dust mites."
