Italian word
porto
port, harbour
Looks like
port
port = harbour (correct) BUT also the fortified wine from Portugal
⚠️ The trap
Generally a true cognate for the harbour meaning, but 'porto' also means 'I carry' (present tense of portare) causing confusion: 'Porto il bagaglio' = I carry the luggage, not 'Port the luggage'.
To say "port = harbour (correct) BUT also the fortified wine from Portugal" in Italian:
porto
"porto" in English means:
port, harbour
Example
"La nave è arrivata al porto stamattina."
"The ship arrived at the port this morning."
