Italian word
sensibile
sensitive (physically or emotionally); perceptible
Looks like
sensible
reasonable, having good judgment
⚠️ The trap
A very common false friend. 'Sensibile' = sensitive, not sensible. If you say 'Sei molto sensibile' to a doctor, you mean they are emotionally sensitive — not that they are reasonable.
To say "reasonable, having good judgment" in Italian:
ragionevole, sensato (for sensible)
"sensibile" in English means:
sensitive (physically or emotionally); perceptible
Example
"Ho la pelle molto sensibile ai prodotti chimici."
"I have very sensitive skin to chemicals."
