⚠️ The trap
Both words can be positive or negative colloquially, but 'tremendo' in Italian leans negative (terribly hot, awfully difficult) more than English 'tremendous', which leans positive.
To say "very great in amount, scale, or intensity; informally: excellent" in Italian:
tremendo (close but with dual register)
"tremendo" in English means:
tremendous, terrible, dreadful; colloquially: amazing, incredible
Example
"Fa un caldo tremendo oggi."
"It's terribly hot today."
