Italian word
anestesia
anaesthesia
Looks like
anaesthesia / anesthesia
same
⚠️ The trap
Same meaning, but 'anestesia locale' = local anaesthetic and 'anestesia generale' = general anaesthetic. The trap: 'anestesista' = anaesthesiologist — NOT an 'aesthetician' (beauty therapist). The Italian word for beauty therapist is 'estetista'.
To say "same" in Italian:
anestesia (correct)
"anestesia" in English means:
anaesthesia
Example
"L'operazione verrà eseguita in anestesia generale."
"The operation will be performed under general anaesthesia."
