Italian word
algoritmo
algorithm (social media algorithm, programming algorithm)
Looks like
algorithm
algorithm (a set of rules for computation)
⚠️ The trap
A reliable cognate. The only confusion is that in Italian 'algoritmo' is masculine ('l'algoritmo'), which learners may forget. Also, Italians increasingly use 'algoritmo' in everyday speech to mean any automated system that makes decisions.
To say "algorithm (a set of rules for computation)" in Italian:
N/A
"algoritmo" in English means:
algorithm (social media algorithm, programming algorithm)
Example
"L'algoritmo di Instagram decide cosa vedi nel feed."
"Instagram's algorithm decides what you see in the feed."
