B1🔤 Letters T–Z
Italian word
toccare
to touch; also: it's your turn (tocca a te)
Looks like
to touch
to come into contact with; to affect emotionally
⚠️ The trap
'Tocca a te' literally means 'it touches you' but idiomatically means 'it's your turn'. Don't translate 'it's my turn' as 'mi tocca' in casual contexts without understanding it can also mean 'I'm forced to do it'.
To say "to come into contact with; to affect emotionally" in Italian:
toccare (same base meaning)
"toccare" in English means:
to touch; also: it's your turn (tocca a te)
Example
"Non toccare quel piatto, è caldo!"
"Don't touch that plate, it's hot!"
