Usage Note

Apprezzamento covers both appreciation as gratitude (esprimere apprezzamento, to express appreciation) and appreciation as a rise in value (apprezzamento del capitale, capital appreciation). In financial contexts it often contrasts with svalutazione (depreciation). The verb is apprezzare; the past participle apprezzato also functions as an adjective meaning 'valued, well-regarded.'

Examples

"Ho ricevuto molti apprezzamenti per il mio lavoro."

Natural Translation

I received a lot of appreciation for my work.
