Italian word
rapporto
relationship, report, ratio
Looks like
rapport
a close harmonious relationship
⚠️ The trap
'Rapporto' is broader than English 'rapport' — it means relationship, report, or ratio. English 'rapport' implies a special warmth. Italians use 'sintonia' or 'buona intesa' for that specific nuance.
To say "a close harmonious relationship" in Italian:
rapporto (overlaps), buona sintonia (for warm rapport)
"rapporto" in English means:
relationship, report, ratio
Example
"C'è un ottimo rapporto tra i colleghi."
"There's an excellent relationship among colleagues."
