Italian word

diarrea

diarrhoea

Looks like

diarrhoea / diarrhea

same

⚠️ The trap

Same meaning. The trap is the gender — 'la diarrea' (feminine). Also, Italian uses the definite article: 'avere la diarrea' not just 'avere diarrea'. Similar to 'ho la febbre' rather than 'ho febbre'.

To say "same" in Italian:

diarrea (correct)

"diarrea" in English means:

diarrhoea

Example

"Ha la diarrea e non riesce a mangiare."

"He has diarrhoea and can't eat."
