Italian word
ulcera
ulcer (stomach ulcer, mouth ulcer)
Looks like
ulcer
same
⚠️ The trap
Same meaning. The trap: 'ulcera peptica' = peptic ulcer; 'ulcera gastrica' = stomach ulcer; 'afte' = mouth ulcer (aphthous ulcer). The Italian word for a common mouth ulcer/cold sore inside the mouth is 'afta', not 'ulcera'.
To say "same" in Italian:
ulcera (correct)
"ulcera" in English means:
ulcer (stomach ulcer, mouth ulcer)
Example
"Lo stress e l'abuso di antidolorifici possono causare un'ulcera gastrica."
"Stress and overuse of painkillers can cause a gastric ulcer."
