⚠️ The trap
True cognate. The trap is forgetting that Italians also use 'audace' (daring/bold) and 'temerario' (reckless). 'Coraggioso' is the safe, default word for brave.
To say "showing bravery and courage" in Italian:
coraggioso (true cognate)
"coraggioso" in English means:
courageous, brave, bold
Example
"È stato molto coraggioso ad affrontare quella situazione da solo."
"It was very courageous of him to face that situation alone."
