bilby commented on the word fattoria
Italian - farm, not factory. Interestingly this subject throws up another false friend in fabbrica, factory not fabric. To cover all options, spread your investments between a farm and a fabric factory and you shall live in peace.

fabrika also means 'factory' in SBC (and, I warrant, several other European languages).
I often see the false friend effect with sensible, which means 'sensitive' in (many? all?) Romance languages.

'Ecco! la fattoria,' said the driver, pointing to it.
Am I the only one amused by the uselessly generic nature of this 'vexample'?
I mean, it could be a pig, it could be the Book of kells, it could be bilby's laundry hamper, a vexing syntactical error in "The da Vinci Code", la plume de ma tante. Anything, really.

What did the second pronunciation say? It was pretty good!
(Accidentally read uselessness' comment as 'Do that have auctioneers in your useless corner of the world?'

Too afraid to. What if he gave an honest answer?
