⚠️ The trap
True cognate, but 'speciale' in Italian is also used in journalism for a special news report ('uno speciale televisivo'). 'Special' in English can be a noun (today's special = dish of the day) — for that use 'il piatto del giorno' in Italian.
To say "better or greater than usual" in Italian:
speciale (true cognate)
"speciale" in English means:
special, particular
Example
"Oggi è un giorno speciale per me."
"Today is a special day for me."
