B1🔤 Letters T–Z
Italian word
trama
plot (of a story); weft (of fabric); conspiracy
Looks like
drama
a play for theatre; an exciting or emotional situation
⚠️ The trap
'Trama' is not 'drama'. 'Trama' = the plot/storyline (or a conspiracy). English 'drama' = Italian 'dramma'. Don't say 'la trama di questo film è drammatica' meaning 'this film is dramatic' — it means 'the plot is dramatic'.
To say "a play for theatre; an exciting or emotional situation" in Italian:
trama (plot/conspiracy); dramma (for drama)
"trama" in English means:
plot (of a story); weft (of fabric); conspiracy
Example
"La trama del film è molto complicata."
"The film's plot is very complicated."
