Italian word

presentare

to present, to introduce, to submit (a document), to host (a show)

Looks like

to present

to show, to give, to introduce

⚠️ The trap

Broadly a true friend. But 'presentare domanda' = to submit/file an application — not 'to present an application' in the English sense. 'Il presentatore' = TV presenter/host (the person, not the PowerPoint program). 'Mi presento' = I introduce myself.

To say "to show, to give, to introduce" in Italian:

presentare (correct)

"presentare" in English means:

to present, to introduce, to submit (a document), to host (a show)

Example

"Permettimi di presentarti mia sorella."

"Allow me to introduce you to my sister."
