Italian word
caricatore
charger (phone/laptop charger); also: loader (ammunition), loader (cargo)
Looks like
character (superficially, when misread)
charger = device that charges; also a horse; also a large plate
⚠️ The trap
Not a spelling false friend, but learners confuse 'caricatore' (charger) with the English word 'character' due to sound similarity when spoken quickly. Additionally, 'caricatore' in a military context means a gun magazine, not a charger.
To say "charger = device that charges; also a horse; also a large plate" in Italian:
caricatore
"caricatore" in English means:
charger (phone/laptop charger); also: loader (ammunition), loader (cargo)
Example
"Hai portato il caricatore per il tuo telefono?"
"Did you bring the charger for your phone?"
