Italian word

prostata

prostate (gland)

Looks like

prostate

same

⚠️ The trap

Same meaning, but a very common English error: 'prostrate' (lying face down) vs 'prostate' (the gland). In Italian this confusion doesn't exist: 'prostata' = gland, 'prostrarsi' = to prostrate oneself. Completely different words.

To say "same" in Italian:

prostata (correct)

"prostata" in English means:

prostate (gland)

Example

"Gli uomini over 50 dovrebbero fare controlli regolari alla prostata."

"Men over 50 should have regular prostate check-ups."
