⚠️ The trap
True cognate for the adjective. But 'il responsabile' as a noun means 'the person in charge' — a manager or director. English 'the responsible' is not used this way.
To say "having the duty to deal with something or having blame if wrong" in Italian:
responsabile (true cognate, but broader use as a noun)
"responsabile" in English means:
responsible; also 'in charge of', 'the person responsible for'
