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."
