load

In Italian, the word 'carico' is used to refer to a load or burden, both in a physical and metaphorical sense. It can be used to describe the weight or amount of items being carried or transported, as well as the responsibilities or tasks that someone has to bear. For example, 'Il camion ha un carico pesante' (The truck has a heavy load) or 'Il suo carico di lavoro è aumentato' (His workload has increased).
