Usage Note

Indignato is an adjective (not a noun as the seed suggests) derived from the past participle of indignarsi (to become indignant). It agrees in gender and number: indignata (f), indignati (m pl), indignate (f pl). Often appears in political discourse and media commentary. In Italian, emotions like this often take essere: sono indignato ('I am outraged').

Examples
