A2🔤 Letters T–Z
Italian word
vincere
to win, to defeat, to conquer
Looks like
to convince
to cause someone to believe something through reasoning or evidence
⚠️ The trap
'Vincere' = to win, NOT to convince. 'Convincere' = to convince. These look very different written out, but English speakers sometimes hear 'vincere' and think of 'convince'. They are separate verbs.
To say "to cause someone to believe something through reasoning or evidence" in Italian:
vincere (to win); convincere (to convince — same as English)
"vincere" in English means:
to win, to defeat, to conquer
Example
"La nostra squadra ha vinto la partita."
"Our team won the match."
