Italian word

racconto

short story, tale, account

Looks like

recount

to tell again; a detailed account

⚠️ The trap

'Racconto' is a noun meaning a short story or tale, not the verb 'to recount'. The Italian verb is 'raccontare'. Don't confuse the noun with the English verb.

To say "to tell again; a detailed account" in Italian:

racconto (noun); raccontare (verb)

"racconto" in English means:

short story, tale, account

Example

"Ha scritto un racconto molto emozionante."

"He wrote a very moving short story."
