Italian word
tranquillo
calm, quiet, relaxed, untroubled
Looks like
tranquil
free from disturbance; calm
⚠️ The trap
True cognate but 'tranquillo' in Italian is also a reassuring command ('Stai tranquillo!' = Don't worry!). English 'tranquil' is purely descriptive and formal. Italians use 'tranquillo' constantly in speech.
To say "free from disturbance; calm" in Italian:
tranquillo (true cognate but used far more widely)
"tranquillo" in English means:
calm, quiet, relaxed, untroubled
Example
"Stai tranquillo — non c'è niente di cui preoccuparsi."
"Relax / Don't worry — there's nothing to worry about."
