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!"
