Italian word

sutura

suture, stitch (to close a wound)

Looks like

suture

same

⚠️ The trap

Same meaning. The trap: Italians also use 'punto' or 'punti' (points/stitches) colloquially — 'mi hanno messo tre punti' = they gave me three stitches. 'Sutura' is the formal term; 'punto' is everyday speech.

To say "same" in Italian:

sutura (correct)

"sutura" in English means:

suture, stitch (to close a wound)

Example

"La ferita richiedeva tre suture."

"The wound required three stitches."
