⚠️ The trap
A perfect cognate for data measurement. However, in informal Italian 'un po'' (a little) is sometimes colloquially called 'un bit' in tech circles. The real trap: 'byte' ≠ 'bite' — 'byte' is pronounced the same as English, but 'bite' in Italian (morso) sounds nothing like it.
To say "bit (binary digit, a small amount, a drill bit)" in Italian:
N/A — 'bit' is used as a loanword
"bit" in English means:
bit (unit of data); also: morsel, small piece (from Italian 'boccone')
Example
"Una connessione da 100 megabit al secondo è abbastanza veloce."
"A 100 megabit per second connection is fast enough."
