solidarietà

solidarity

noun soh-lee-dah-ryeh-TAH Less Common

Origin: From French solidarité, from Latin solidus, 'solid, whole'.

Usage Note

Solidarietà ends in an accented -à, so it is invariable in the plural — la solidarietà and le forme di solidarietà both remain solidarietà. This applies to all Italian nouns ending in a stressed vowel (città, università, libertà). The adjective solidale ('in solidarity with') is commonly paired with it.

Examples

"Il paese ha mostrato grande solidarietà."

Natural Translation

The country showed great solidarity.
