Italian word
reception
hotel reception / front desk
Looks like
reception
reception = also a party/event (wedding reception)
⚠️ The trap
In Italian hotels, 'reception' (borrowed from English) means the front desk. But 'ricevimento' is used for a formal reception/party (wedding reception = ricevimento di nozze). Using 'reception' for a party would confuse Italians.
To say "reception = also a party/event (wedding reception)" in Italian:
reception / accoglienza
"reception" in English means:
hotel reception / front desk
Example
"Lascia le chiavi alla reception quando esci."
"Leave the keys at reception when you go out."
