B1🔤 Letters R & S
Italian word
realizzare
to achieve, to carry out, to make (a project)
Looks like
to realize
to become aware of something
⚠️ The trap
'Realizzare' primarily means to accomplish or carry out something. For 'to realize' in the sense of 'to become aware', use 'rendersi conto'. This is one of the most common Italian false friends.
To say "to become aware of something" in Italian:
rendersi conto, capire (for to realize/understand)
"realizzare" in English means:
to achieve, to carry out, to make (a project)
Example
"Ha realizzato il suo sogno di diventare medico."
"He achieved his dream of becoming a doctor."
