teatrale
theatrical
adjective teh-ah-TRAH-leh Less Common
Origin: from Latin theatralis
Also means
dramatic
Usage Note
Teatrale ends in -e, so one form serves both genders, pluralizing as teatrali. Beyond the literal stagione teatrale ('theater season') it means melodramatic, as in un gesto teatrale ('a theatrical gesture').
