Italian word

ago

needle (sewing)

Looks like

ago

in the past (e.g., 'two days ago')

⚠️ The trap

In Italian, 'ago' means a sewing needle, not 'ago' as in 'two days ago'. For 'ago' in time, Italians use 'fa': 'due giorni fa'.

To say "in the past (e.g., 'two days ago')" in Italian:

fa (two days ago = due giorni fa)

"ago" in English means:

needle (sewing)

Example

"Ho bisogno di un ago e del filo."

"I need a needle and thread."
