⚠️ The trap

In medical Italian 'analisi' is used where English says 'tests' or 'lab work'. 'Fare le analisi' means to get tests done. The singular 'analisi' exists but the medical use is almost always plural.

To say "examination of something in detail" in Italian:

analisi del sangue (blood test)

"analisi" in English means:

medical tests, blood tests, lab tests (always plural in this sense)

Example

"Il dottore mi ha chiesto di fare le analisi del sangue."

"The doctor asked me to get blood tests done."
