Italian word

possibile

possible

Looks like

possible

able to be done or to happen

⚠️ The trap

The meaning is the same, but the exclamation 'ma è possibile?!' in Italian is a frustrated rhetorical question meaning 'How is that even possible?!' or 'Can you believe it?!' — much stronger emotionally than asking whether something is possible.

To say "able to be done or to happen" in Italian:

possibile (correct)

"possibile" in English means:

possible

Example

"È possibile che arrivi tardi."

"It's possible that he will arrive late."
