Italian word
tastiera
keyboard (computer keyboard, musical keyboard)
Looks like
taster / taste (superficially)
taster = person who tastes; taste = sense of taste
⚠️ The trap
Not a true false friend in terms of spelling, but Italian learners confuse 'tastiera' (keyboard) with English 'taste'/'taster'. 'Tastiera' comes from 'tasto' (key/button), not from 'taste'. Do not say *'taste'* when you mean keyboard.
To say "taster = person who tastes; taste = sense of taste" in Italian:
tastiera
"tastiera" in English means:
keyboard (computer keyboard, musical keyboard)
Example
"La mia tastiera wireless ha la batteria scarica."
"My wireless keyboard has a dead battery."
