Italian word
ernia
hernia
Looks like
hernia
same
⚠️ The trap
Same meaning. The trap: 'ernia del disco' = slipped disc / herniated disc. In English you'd say 'slipped disc' or 'disc herniation' — not just 'hernia'. Also: 'ernia inguinale' = inguinal hernia, which English speakers might call a 'groin hernia'.
To say "same" in Italian:
ernia (correct)
"ernia" in English means:
hernia
Example
"Ha un'ernia del disco lombare che causa sciatica."
"He has a lumbar disc hernia causing sciatica."
