Italian word

reale

real, actual; also royal

Looks like

real

actually existing, not imaginary

⚠️ The trap

'Reale' means both 'real' AND 'royal' in Italian. An English speaker might say 'reale' thinking only of 'real', but Italians also use it for royalty. Always check context.

To say "actually existing, not imaginary" in Italian:

reale (both meanings — context determines which)

"reale" in English means:

real, actual; also royal

Example

"Il Palazzo Reale di Milano è bellissimo."

"The Royal Palace of Milan is beautiful."
