⚠️ The trap
'Parete' is the interior wall of a room (the surface you hang pictures on). 'Muro' is a structural or exterior wall. Learners often just use 'muro' for everything, but 'parete' is the natural word inside a room. 'Scalare una parete' = to climb a rock face.
To say "N/A as a common English word" in Italian:
parete (interior wall); muro (exterior or structural wall)
"parete" in English means:
wall (interior wall of a room)
Example
"Appendi il quadro sulla parete di fronte alla finestra."
"Hang the painting on the wall opposite the window."
