⚠️ The trap

Pavimento means the floor inside a building. 'Pavement' in English is the road or sidewalk surface. A sidewalk is 'marciapiede' in Italian — completely different!

To say "the paved surface of a road or sidewalk" in Italian:

marciapiede (sidewalk) / asfalto (road surface)

"pavimento" in English means:

floor (inside a building)

Example

"Il pavimento è scivoloso."

"The floor is slippery."
