Usage Note

Disobbedienti is the masculine/feminine plural form of disobbediente. The lemma disobbediente (singular) applies to both genders; the plural is used here. Note the double b — a common spelling error is to write disobbediente with one b, but the standard orthography doubles it as in the noun disobbedienza. It describes people (or animals) who refuse to follow instructions or rules.
