Usage Note

Inopportunità is an abstract feminine noun that stays invariable in spelling when plural (le inopportunità). It describes the quality of being badly timed or inappropriate — learners should not confuse it with inopportuno (the adjective 'ill-timed'). The accent on the final vowel signals fixed stress on the last syllable, so never shift stress when inflecting.

Examples

"L'inopportunità della domanda era evidente."

Natural Translation

The inopportuneness of the question was obvious.
