Italian word

opportunità

opportunity, chance

Looks like

opportunity

a favourable time or set of circumstances (same concept)

⚠️ The trap

The meaning is correct, but learners often mispronounce or misspell it. Also, 'opportunista' in Italian has a slightly more negative connotation than 'opportunist' in English — it almost always implies selfishness.

To say "a favourable time or set of circumstances (same concept)" in Italian:

opportunità (correct)

"opportunità" in English means:

opportunity, chance

Example

"È un'ottima opportunità di lavoro."

"It's an excellent job opportunity."
