Usage Note

Inservibile describes something that can no longer perform its function — a broken tool, a worn-out appliance, a garment beyond repair. It is the negation of servibile (usable), itself rare; learners more often encounter its opposite through the compound. The adjective is invariable for gender; plural is inservibili.

Examples

"Questo vecchio frigorifero è ormai inservibile."

Natural Translation
