A2🧠 Personality
Italian word
maturo
mature (in behaviour/personality), also ripe (for fruit)
Looks like
mature
having reached full development; acting responsibly
⚠️ The trap
True cognate but beware: in Italian 'maturo' is heavily used for ripe fruit ('una pera matura'). Don't say 'maturo' for a person if you mean 'middle-aged' — for age say 'di mezza età'.
To say "having reached full development; acting responsibly" in Italian:
maturo (true cognate)
"maturo" in English means:
mature (in behaviour/personality), also ripe (for fruit)
Example
"Per la sua età è una ragazza molto matura."
"For her age she is a very mature girl."
