⚠️ The trap
Mostly a true cognate. However 'studiare' also means to observe or examine someone carefully (lo studiava con gli occhi = he was studying her with his eyes), a nuance English 'study' shares but uses less commonly in conversation.
To say "to learn; to examine" in Italian:
studiare (true cognate)
"studiare" in English means:
to study; to examine carefully
Example
"Studio italiano da tre anni."
"I have been studying Italian for three years."
