Italian word

tirare

to pull, to throw, to shoot (a gun)

Looks like

to tire

to become or make exhausted

⚠️ The trap

'Tirare' sounds like 'to tire' but means 'to pull' or 'to throw'. To say you're tired in Italian use 'sono stanco/a', not 'sono tirato/a'.

To say "to become or make exhausted" in Italian:

stancarsi (to get tired)

"tirare" in English means:

to pull, to throw, to shoot (a gun)

Example

"Tira la porta, non spingerla."

"Pull the door, don't push it."
