When we talk about something burning in Italian, we use the verb bruciare. It means to be on fire or to produce flames. This verb is also used for things that get burned, like food if you cook it too long, or if you get a sunburn. It can even describe a strong, stinging sensation, like a wound that 'burns'. So, it's a versatile verb for anything related to heat, flames, or a burning sensation.
