⚠️ The trap
Most meanings align with English 'post', but 'la posta in gioco' (the post/stake in the game) = the stakes in a negotiation or gamble. 'Ufficio postale' or just 'la posta' = the post office. 'Andare alla posta' = to go to the post office.
To say "a stake in the ground; a job position; to post/mail" in Italian:
posta (correct for mail); posta in gioco (stakes)
"posta" in English means:
mail, post; post office; also: the stakes (in gambling)
Example
"Ho ricevuto una lettera per posta."
"I received a letter by post."
