I was reading this phrase:
pratico regolabile e preciso nella tostatura
and in translation to English I got
practical adjustable and precise in toasting
with two adjectives beside each other. Is it correct Italian or is the translation incorrect?
-
The adjectives Pratico and practical should be considered false friends, although “pratico” can be used with the same meaning as “practical”, for example in the title “Critica della ragion pratica”.– egreg ♦Commented Apr 28, 2017 at 10:53

Here pratico means handy or convenient. Also, the original sentence should be
Pratico, regolabile e preciso nella tostatura.
