⚠️ The trap
True cognate but 'passionale' in Italian strongly implies romantic or emotional intensity. 'Appassionato' is safer for 'passionate about a hobby'. A 'delitto passionale' is a crime of passion.
To say "having or showing strong enthusiasm or sexual desire" in Italian:
passionale (true cognate, but Italian leans toward romantic/intense)
"passionale" in English means:
passionate, intense, driven by strong feelings
Example
"È un uomo passionale che ama con tutto il cuore."
"He is a passionate man who loves with all his heart."
