Usage Note

Contrassegnare is used in formal and administrative contexts for marking or labelling items for identification — luggage, documents, products. The noun contrassegno means a mark, label, or stamp. The double 's' in the spelling reflects its composition: contra- + segnare (to sign/mark). It takes avere as auxiliary.

Examples

"Contrassegna i bagagli con il tuo nome."
