Italian word

ovvio

obvious

Looks like

obvious

easily perceived or understood

⚠️ The trap

A reliable match. The idiom trap: 'ovviamente' = obviously (adverb) — used as a sentence opener much more than English 'obviously'. In speech, 'ovviamente' is NOT always sarcastic — Italians use it as a neutral affirmation far more than English speakers use 'obviously'.

To say "easily perceived or understood" in Italian:

ovvio (correct)

"ovvio" in English means:

obvious

Example

"È ovvio che non vuole venire."

"It's obvious that he doesn't want to come."
