Usage Note

Emarginato functions as both a noun and an adjective. As a noun, un emarginato is someone excluded from mainstream society; the feminine is emarginata. The abstract noun emarginazione means 'social exclusion'. It carries a political undertone — using it signals awareness of structural inequality rather than personal failure.

Examples

"Molti emarginati vivono per strada."
