Italian word
porzione
portion, serving of food
Looks like
portion
a part or share of something (same concept, mostly)
⚠️ The trap
Mostly a true friend, but 'porzione' is used almost exclusively for food servings in everyday Italian. For a non-food share (e.g., a portion of the profit), Italians prefer 'quota' or 'parte'.
To say "a part or share of something (same concept, mostly)" in Italian:
porzione (correct)
"porzione" in English means:
portion, serving of food
Example
"Vorrei una porzione di lasagne, per favore."
"I would like a portion of lasagne, please."
