Usage Note

Tralasciare means to leave out, skip, or set aside deliberately: tralasciare i dettagli (to skip the details), tralasciamo questo argomento (let's drop this topic). It takes avere as its auxiliary. A close synonym is omettere (to omit), which is slightly more formal. Tralasciare often implies a conscious choice to move past something rather than a mistake.

Examples

"Tralasciamo i dettagli e andiamo al punto."

Natural Translation

Let's skip the details and get to the point.
