Italian word

parola

word; promise; speech, the floor (dare la parola = give the floor)

Looks like

parol / parole

parole: early release from prison under conditions

⚠️ The trap

In English 'parole' is exclusively about prison release conditions. In Italian 'parola' is simply 'word' and 'dare la parola' means to give your word/promise. 'Parola d'onore' = word of honour. 'Chiedere la parola' = to ask to speak (in a meeting).

To say "parole: early release from prison under conditions" in Italian:

parola (correct; many idiomatic uses)

"parola" in English means:

word; promise; speech, the floor (dare la parola = give the floor)

Example

"Hai la mia parola."

"You have my word."
