Usage Note

Affermazione is feminine (l'affermazione, plural le affermazioni). It can mean a verbal assertion, a claim, or broader 'affirmation' of identity or success (l'affermazione di sé = self-affirmation). Do not confuse it with conferma (confirmation) — an affermazione introduces a claim, a conferma verifies one already made.

Examples

"La sua affermazione non era supportata dai fatti."

Natural Translation

His statement was not supported by the facts.
