Italian word

nord

north

Looks like

north / nord

north — essentially correct (same Germanic root)

⚠️ The trap

Very close to English but Italians use 'nord', 'sud' (south), 'est' (east), 'ovest' (west). 'Nord-ovest' = northwest. On road signs you'll see 'NORD' for northbound. Not a false friend but key travel vocabulary.

To say "north — essentially correct (same Germanic root)" in Italian:

nord

"nord" in English means:

north

Example

"Milano si trova nel nord d'Italia."

"Milan is located in the north of Italy."
