⚠️ The trap
True cognate but 'onesto' in Italian also means 'decent/fair' in terms of price or behaviour. 'Un prezzo onesto' = a fair price. In English, 'an honest price' sounds odd.
To say "free of deceit, truthful" in Italian:
onesto (true cognate)
"onesto" in English means:
honest, truthful, fair-dealing
Example
"Ti dico una cosa onesta: non mi è piaciuto il film."
"I'll tell you something honest: I didn't like the film."
