Usage Note

Inequivocabile is a formal word meaning leaving no room for doubt — it does not change for gender, only for number (inequivocabili in the plural). It is typically used in legal, journalistic, or academic writing. In everyday speech, Italians more often say chiaro e tondo ('plain and round') or simply ovvio to convey the same idea.

Examples
