Italian word

camera

room (in a hotel or house)

Looks like

camera

a device for taking photographs

⚠️ The trap

At hotel check-in, 'camera' means your room, not a photographic device. Saying 'Ho dimenticato la camera' at a hotel desk means 'I forgot my room', not 'I forgot my camera'.

To say "a device for taking photographs" in Italian:

macchina fotografica / fotocamera

"camera" in English means:

room (in a hotel or house)

Example

"Vorrei prenotare una camera doppia per tre notti."

"I'd like to book a double room for three nights."
