Italian word
stomaco
stomach (the organ)
Looks like
stomach
same — but English 'stomach' is often used loosely for the whole abdomen
⚠️ The trap
Both mean stomach, but Italians use 'stomaco' more precisely for the organ. For general tummy/belly complaints, Italians say 'pancia' or 'addome'. Saying 'ho mal di stomaco' (I have stomachache) is correct and common.
To say "same — but English 'stomach' is often used loosely for the whole abdomen" in Italian:
addome, pancia (for belly/abdomen region)
"stomaco" in English means:
stomach (the organ)
Example
"Mi fa male lo stomaco dopo aver mangiato troppo."
"My stomach hurts after eating too much."
