conferma

confirmation

noun kon-FER-mah Less Common

Origin: From Latin confirmatio, from confirmare 'to strengthen'.

Usage Note

Conferma is both a noun (a confirmation) and the third-person singular present of confermare (he/she confirms) — context disambiguates. The phrase in attesa di conferma ('pending confirmation') is common in correspondence. The plural is conferme.

Examples

"Attendo una conferma scritta."

Natural Translation

I am waiting for a written confirmation.
