Italian word

stufo

fed up, sick and tired of something

Looks like

stuffed

(no direct false friend, but sounds like 'stuffed')

⚠️ The trap

'Stufo' sounds like 'stuffed' but means 'fed up'. If you're stuffed after a meal, say 'sono pieno' (I'm full) — never 'sono stufo' (which means you're sick of something).

To say "(no direct false friend, but sounds like 'stuffed')" in Italian:

stufo → fed up; pieno → stuffed (after eating)

"stufo" in English means:

fed up, sick and tired of something

Example

"Sono stufo di aspettare — andiamo!"

"I'm fed up with waiting — let's go!"
