Usage Note

Obbligatorietà is an abstract noun meaning the quality of being compulsory or mandatory: l'obbligatorietà del vaccino ('the compulsory nature of the vaccine'). Like all nouns ending in accented -à, its plural is identical to the singular (le obbligatorietà). It is strictly a formal, legal, and bureaucratic term; in everyday speech Italians prefer phrases like essere obbligatorio ('to be mandatory').

Examples

"L'obbligatorietà dell'assicurazione è stabilita per legge."

Natural Translation
