Italian word
filo
thread, wire, string
Looks like
file
a folder of documents; to arrange papers; a computer file
⚠️ The trap
Filo means thread, wire, or string — not a document file. A file (document) is borrowed directly as 'file' in Italian tech contexts, or 'archivio' for a filing system.
To say "a folder of documents; to arrange papers; a computer file" in Italian:
file / archivio
"filo" in English means:
thread, wire, string
Example
"Il filo è rotto."
"The wire/thread is broken."
