Usage Note

Ingiustificato describes an action, absence, or claim that lacks justification. A key collocation is assenza ingiustificata — an 'unexcused absence' in school or work contexts, which carries legal and disciplinary weight in Italy. Its opposite is giustificato ('justified, excused'). The plural forms are ingiustificati (m) and ingiustificate (f).

Examples

"La sua assenza è rimasta ingiustificata."
