stuff, things, belongings (colloquial)

robe
a long loose garment
⚠️ The trap
'Roba' is informal Italian for 'stuff' or 'things/belongings'. It has nothing to do with a robe (garment). A dressing gown is 'vestaglia'; a bath robe is 'accappatoio'. 'Che roba!' is also an exclamation meaning 'What a thing!' (expressing surprise or indignation).
To say "a long loose garment" in Italian:
vestaglia, accappatoio (for robe/dressing gown)
"roba" in English means:
stuff, things, belongings (colloquial)
Example
"Ho lasciato tutta la mia roba a casa tua."
"I left all my stuff at your place."
