Usage Note

Gettonato derives from gettone (token, coin) — a word that originally described jukeboxes paid with tokens; something heavily 'tokened' became figuratively 'popular'. Today it belongs firmly to informal register: use it in conversation or journalism, not in formal writing. The feminine form is gettonata.

Examples

"Quel ristorante è molto gettonato."
