Usage Note

Serietà is an invariable noun ending in a stressed -à, so its plural is identical to the singular: la serietà, le serietà (though the plural is rarely used). It denotes the quality of being serious, dependable, and responsible — often used in professional contexts (un'azienda di serietà = 'a company of integrity'). Being a -tà noun it is always feminine and never adds a plural ending, like città, libertà, qualità.

Examples

"Apprezzo la tua serietà nel lavoro."
