Italian word
colline
hills (plural of collina)
Looks like
incline / colline
no direct English cognate — 'colline' sounds like 'collines' (French for hills)
⚠️ The trap
Not a false friend with English, but often confused with 'colli' (another plural form, used in place names like 'Colli Euganei'). Also 'colle' can mean a hill or a mountain pass.
To say "no direct English cognate — 'colline' sounds like 'collines' (French for hills)" in Italian:
collina / colline
"colline" in English means:
hills (plural of collina)
Example
"Le colline toscane sono famose in tutto il mondo."
"The Tuscan hills are famous throughout the world."
