Italian word
esame
exam/test — but in medical contexts: a diagnostic test or scan
Looks like
exam
a test of knowledge; in medicine: a physical examination
⚠️ The trap
In Italian medicine, 'esame' covers all types of diagnostic tests: 'esame del sangue' (blood test), 'esame delle urine' (urine test), 'esame obiettivo' (physical examination). English separates these: 'test', 'scan', 'examination'. The Italian word is broader.
To say "a test of knowledge; in medicine: a physical examination" in Italian:
esame (correct in medical context)
"esame" in English means:
exam/test — but in medical contexts: a diagnostic test or scan
Example
"Devo fare un esame del sangue e un esame delle urine."
"I need to get a blood test and a urine test."
