⚠️ The trap
No English cognate. 'Ferito' = wounded/injured (adjective). 'I feriti' = the wounded/casualties. A common headline word in Italian news. Don't confuse with 'ferito' (wounded) vs 'morto' (dead) in accident reports.
To say "no direct cognate" in Italian:
ferita (correct)
"ferita" in English means:
wound, injury, cut
Example
"La ferita al braccio sanguinava abbondantemente."
"The wound on his arm was bleeding heavily."
