Italian word

virus

virus (computer virus, biological virus)

Looks like

virus

virus (computer virus, biological virus)

⚠️ The trap

A perfect cognate in both tech and biology. However, in Italian 'virus' is invariable — the plural is still 'virus' (not 'viruses'). Learners sometimes add an Italian plural: *'i virii'* which is incorrect.

To say "virus (computer virus, biological virus)" in Italian:

N/A

"virus" in English means:

virus (computer virus, biological virus)

Example

"Il mio computer ha preso un virus e ho perso tutti i dati."

"My computer got a virus and I lost all my data."
