Italian word

golfo

gulf, bay

Looks like

gulf / golf

gulf = large bay; golf = the sport

⚠️ The trap

Looks like English 'golf'. In Italian, the sport of golf is also 'golf' (borrowed). But 'golfo' (with an 'o') is a geographical bay or gulf. Do not confuse 'campo da golf' (golf course) with 'golfo'.

To say "gulf = large bay; golf = the sport" in Italian:

golfo

"golfo" in English means:

gulf, bay

Example

"Il Golfo di Napoli è uno dei panorami più belli al mondo."

"The Gulf of Naples is one of the most beautiful views in the world."
