Italian word
navetta
shuttle bus / shuttle service
Looks like
navigate / navy
shuttle (no direct cognate with 'navigate')
⚠️ The trap
From 'nave' (ship). A 'navetta' is a small shuttle boat or bus. At airports you often see 'navetta' signs for hotel shuttles. Not a navigation device or navy-related transport.
To say "shuttle (no direct cognate with 'navigate')" in Italian:
navetta
"navetta" in English means:
shuttle bus / shuttle service
Example
"C'è una navetta gratuita tra l'albergo e l'aeroporto."
"There is a free shuttle between the hotel and the airport."
