Italian word

artrite

arthritis

Looks like

arthritis

same

⚠️ The trap

Same meaning. Note 'artrite reumatoide' = rheumatoid arthritis; 'artrosi' (NOT artrite) = osteoarthritis. This is a key distinction: 'artrite' = inflammatory joint disease; 'artrosi' = degenerative wear-and-tear joint disease. Mixing them up is a common error.

To say "same" in Italian:

artrite (correct)

"artrite" in English means:

arthritis

Example

"La nonna soffre di artrite reumatoide alle mani."

"Grandma suffers from rheumatoid arthritis in her hands."
