Italian word
ammettere
to admit, to acknowledge, to allow entry, to grant
Looks like
to admit
to confess; to allow entry
⚠️ The trap
Largely the same. But 'ammesso che' + subjunctive = 'granted that / assuming that' — a very common Italian construction. Also 'essere ammesso a' = to be admitted to (school/university). Slightly wider than English.
To say "to confess; to allow entry" in Italian:
ammettere is correct
"ammettere" in English means:
to admit, to acknowledge, to allow entry, to grant
Example
"Ammesso che tu abbia ragione, cosa facciamo?"
"Granted that you are right, what do we do?"
