Italian word
tendinite
tendinitis, tendon inflammation
Looks like
tendinitis
same — but modern English prefers 'tendinopathy'
⚠️ The trap
Same meaning, but modern sports medicine in English has largely replaced 'tendinitis' with 'tendinopathy'. In Italian, 'tendinite' remains the common clinical and everyday term. Also: 'tendine d'Achille' = Achilles tendon.
To say "same — but modern English prefers 'tendinopathy'" in Italian:
tendinite (correct)
"tendinite" in English means:
tendinitis, tendon inflammation
Example
"Ho la tendinite al tendine d'Achille per aver corso troppo."
"I have Achilles tendinitis from running too much."
