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 the verb ricoverare, which means to hospitalize; it does not mean to recover.
Dopo aver compilato i moduli necessari Marco e’ stato ricoverato all’ospedale Santa Maria per alcune analisi.
After filling out the necessary forms Marco was hospitalized for some tests at St. Mary’s Hospital.
