map — correct, but 'mappa' in Italian also specifically means a street/tourist map
⚠️ The trap
A near-perfect cognate, but Italians also use 'cartina' for a folded paper map. 'Mappa' can sound slightly more formal. Confusingly, 'mappamondo' means a globe (world map in sphere form).
To say "map — correct, but 'mappa' in Italian also specifically means a street/tourist map" in Italian:
mappa / cartina
"mappa" in English means:
map
Example
"Hai una mappa della città?"
"Do you have a map of the city?"
