superficialità

superficiality

noun soo-per-fee-chah-lee-TAH Rare

Also means

shallowness

Usage Note

Superficialità is an invariable noun: like all nouns ending in an accented vowel (città, libertà), it does not change in the plural. The accent on the final syllable forces stress there: soo-per-fee-chah-lee-TAH. It describes a quality of mind or manner, not a physical surface—la superficialità dei giudizi (the shallowness of judgments).

Examples

"La sua superficialità mi ha deluso."

Natural Translation

His superficiality disappointed me.
