salary
a fixed regular payment for employment
⚠️ The trap
Mostly a true cognate, but in Italian 'salario' tends to mean hourly or manual wage, while 'stipendio' is used for a monthly professional salary. English 'salary' covers both.
To say "a fixed regular payment for employment" in Italian:
salario (true cognate)
"salario" in English means:
salary, wage
Example
"Il salario minimo è aumentato quest'anno."
"The minimum wage has increased this year."
