Italian word

nausea

nausea, feeling of sickness

Looks like

nausea

same

⚠️ The trap

Same meaning, but 'nauseante' in Italian means nauseating/disgusting — which also aligns with English 'nauseating'. The trap: 'ho la nausea' vs English 'I feel nauseous'. Italians use the noun ('ho la nausea') where English uses the adjective ('I feel nauseous').

To say "same" in Italian:

nausea (correct)

"nausea" in English means:

nausea, feeling of sickness

Example

"Sento nausea e giramenti di testa."

"I feel nauseous and dizzy."
