Italian word

resto

the rest (remainder); change (money)

Looks like

rest

relaxation; to relax; what remains

⚠️ The trap

'Resto' means the remainder or monetary change, not rest/relaxation. For 'rest' as in relaxation, say 'riposo'. Saying 'Ho bisogno di resto' would mean you need change, not a break.

To say "relaxation; to relax; what remains" in Italian:

riposo, riposarsi (for rest/relaxation)

"resto" in English means:

the rest (remainder); change (money)

Example

"Tenga pure il resto."

"Keep the change."
