Looks like

to sense

to perceive through senses

⚠️ The trap

'Sentire' does everything the English senses do except sight. 'Sento un rumore' = 'I hear a noise'. 'Sento freddo' = 'I feel cold'. 'Sento un buon profumo' = 'I smell a nice scent'. 'Ci sentiamo!' = 'We'll talk!' (phone/text).

To say "to perceive through senses" in Italian:

sentire is correct

"sentire" in English means:

to hear, to feel, to smell, to taste, to call (someone)

Example

"Ci sentiamo domani?"

"Shall we talk tomorrow? (Shall we be in touch?)"
