Italian word

iniezione

injection

Looks like

injection

same

⚠️ The trap

Same meaning, but note: 'iniezione intramuscolare' = IM injection; 'iniezione endovenosa' = IV injection. Colloquially Italians say 'puntura' for injection (see ff-med-071). In hospital settings, 'iniezione' is the formal term.

To say "same" in Italian:

iniezione (correct)

"iniezione" in English means:

injection

Example

"Il medico mi ha fatto un'iniezione di cortisone."

"The doctor gave me a cortisone injection."
