Usage Note

Patriottico agrees fully for gender and number: patriottica, patriottici, patriottiche. Note the double 't'. In Italian political discourse it often carries a more neutral tone than in English — though nazionalista (nationalist) has stronger connotations.

Examples

"Il discorso del presidente era molto patriottico."
