coraggioso

courageous, brave, bold

Looks like

courageous

showing bravery and courage

⚠️ 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."
