positività

positivity

noun poh-zee-tee-vee-TAH Rare

Usage Note

Positività ends in a written accent, which means it is invariable in the plural — la positività and le positività are the same form. This invariable pattern applies to all Italian nouns ending in an accented vowel (città, caffè, virtù). The word is used both in psychological contexts ('a positive mindset') and in medical ones (positività al test = 'positive test result').

Examples

"La sua positività ha contagiato tutto il gruppo."

Natural Translation

Her positivity spread to the whole group.
