Registrazione

I have begun a new series for La Parola del Giorno consisting of false friends. False friends are pairs of words or phrases in two languages that look or sound similar, but differ significantly in meaning.

Today’s Parola del Giorno is registrazione, which means recording and not registration.

La registrazione dell’ultimo concerto di “Il Complesso” sara’ trasmessa da tre stazioni radio.

The recording of the last concert by “Il Complesso” will be aired by three radio stations.
