Italian word
pigro
lazy, idle, unwilling to exert effort
Looks like
(no direct English false friend, but confused with 'eager')
lazy (correct translation)
⚠️ The trap
Not a classic false friend, but English speakers often confuse 'pigro' with 'eager' (they sound vaguely similar when heard). 'Eager' = entusiasta, desideroso. 'Pigro' = lazy.
To say "lazy (correct translation)" in Italian:
pigro → lazy
"pigro" in English means:
lazy, idle, unwilling to exert effort
Example
"È troppo pigro per alzarsi presto la mattina."
"He is too lazy to get up early in the morning."
