Italian word
febbre
fever, temperature
Looks like
fever (via French fièvre)
fever
⚠️ The trap
Not a trap in meaning, but Italian uses Celsius — '38 di febbre' is a moderate fever. American English speakers think in Fahrenheit (38°C = 100.4°F). Also: Italians say 'ho la febbre' (I have the fever), not 'ho febbre' — the article is obligatory.
To say "fever" in Italian:
febbre (correct)
"febbre" in English means:
fever, temperature
Example
"Ho la febbre a 38 gradi da ieri sera."
"I've had a temperature of 38 degrees since yesterday evening."
