Italian word
osteoporosi
osteoporosis
Looks like
osteoporosis
same
⚠️ The trap
Same meaning, but 'osteoporosi' is invariable (no plural change). The trap: learners try to create a plural 'osteoporosi' — which is correct since it doesn't change. But 'osteoPorosi' vs 'osteOporosi' — the stress falls differently from English.
To say "same" in Italian:
osteoporosi (correct)
"osteoporosi" in English means:
osteoporosis
Example
"L'osteoporosi rende le ossa fragili e soggette a fratture."
"Osteoporosis makes bones brittle and prone to fractures."
