Palabra italiana
cortese
polite, courteous, kind
Parece
courteous
polite and respectful
⚠️ La trampa
Cortese and courteous are near-equivalents. The subtle trap: in formal Italian letters 'Gentile' or 'Spettabile' are used more than 'Cortese' as a salutation. And 'cortesia' means courtesy/kindness. These are not false friends but learners often misuse the formal register.
