Usage Note
Malignità is an abstract noun with a written accent on the final à, making it invariable in the plural — both singular and plural are malignità. It describes deliberate ill-will or spitefulness, stronger than cattiveria (naughtiness) and closer to calculated cruelty. Do not confuse with malignità in a medical context where it can mean malignancy.
Examples
"Le sue parole erano piene di malignità."
Natural Translation
