Usage Note

Divorzio is masculine: il divorzio. Italy only legalised divorce in 1970, making the term culturally significant. The verb divorziare (to divorce) takes avere: hanno divorziato ('they divorced'). Chiedere il divorzio means 'to file for divorce'.

Examples

"Ha rinunciato nobilmente alla sua parte dell'eredità."

Natural Translation

He nobly renounced his share of the inheritance.
