⚠️ The trap

'Scansione' = a scan (the noun). 'Scansionare' = to scan (the verb). 'Scansione antivirus' = virus scan. In everyday speech, Italians also use the English loanword 'scan'. The word 'scansione' in literary Italian also means scanning a verse for meter — a completely different meaning.

To say "scanning (the process of scanning)" in Italian:

scansione

"scansione" in English means:

scan (document scan, QR code scan, virus scan)

Example

"Fai una scansione del documento e mandamela via email."

"Scan the document and send it to me by email."
