Italian word
tornare
to return, to go back, to come back
Looks like
to turn
to rotate; to change direction
⚠️ The trap
'Tornare' = to return, not to turn. To turn a corner say 'girare' or 'svoltare'. 'Torna!' = 'Come back!' To turn around = 'girarsi'. Completely different from English 'turn'.
To say "to rotate; to change direction" in Italian:
girare, svoltare (for to turn)
"tornare" in English means:
to return, to go back, to come back
Example
"Torno a casa alle sette di sera."
"I come back home at seven in the evening."
