Italian word
seccato
annoyed, irritated, put out
Looks like
(no direct English false friend)
annoyed (correct meaning)
⚠️ The trap
'Seccato' literally relates to 'secco' (dry) but idiomatically means annoyed/irritated. Don't confuse with 'annoiato' (bored) which looks like 'annoyed' in English.
To say "annoyed (correct meaning)" in Italian:
seccato → annoyed/irritated
"seccato" in English means:
annoyed, irritated, put out
Example
"Era seccato per il ritardo del treno."
"He was annoyed by the train delay."
