A2🔤 Letters T–Z
Italian word
verso
toward, in the direction of; also: verse (of a poem); side/back of a page
Looks like
verse
a line or stanza of poetry; a chapter and verse (Bible)
⚠️ The trap
'Verso' as a preposition means 'toward' — very different from English 'verse'. English 'versus' (vs.) = Italian 'contro'. Don't mix up 'verso' (toward/poetry) and 'contro' (against).
To say "a line or stanza of poetry; a chapter and verse (Bible)" in Italian:
verso (preposition for direction; also verse in poetry)
"verso" in English means:
toward, in the direction of; also: verse (of a poem); side/back of a page
Example
"Camminiamo verso il mare."
"Let's walk toward the sea."
