Nobel Prize
an international award for outstanding contributions
⚠️ The trap
Not a false friend, but note the Italian word order: 'premio Nobel' (prize Nobel) vs English 'Nobel Prize' (Nobel prize). In Italian the category follows: 'premio Nobel per la letteratura'. Learners sometimes translate as 'Nobel premio' — wrong word order.
To say "an international award for outstanding contributions" in Italian:
premio Nobel (correct)
"premio Nobel" in English means:
Nobel Prize
Example
"Ha vinto il premio Nobel per la pace."
"She won the Nobel Peace Prize."
