Italian word

scheda

card (graphics card, SIM card, SD card, network card); also: index card, form

Looks like

schedule (distantly)

schedule = a timetable/plan; card = a flat piece of material

⚠️ The trap

'Scheda' looks nothing like 'card', but it is the correct Italian word for computer cards (graphics card = 'scheda grafica', network card = 'scheda di rete', SIM card = 'scheda SIM'). It also means an index card or a form to fill in. English speakers may say *'carta grafica'* which is incorrect.

To say "schedule = a timetable/plan; card = a flat piece of material" in Italian:

scheda

"scheda" in English means:

card (graphics card, SIM card, SD card, network card); also: index card, form

Example

"Devo cambiare la scheda grafica del mio PC."

"I need to change my PC's graphics card."
